Commuting time

THE BOSTON GLOBE
Commuting headaches growing in Mass.
More Massachusetts residents drove alone to work in the 1990s, fewer people used carpools, and use of transit barely changed - increasing the average daily roundtrip from roughly 45 minutes per day to nearly an hour, according to US Census data released yesterday.
