I live in Sydney, Australia. Public transport here frankly sucks, most people I know commute for more than 40 minutes.<p>I would estimate that the typical city worker here commutes for between 50 mins and an hour.
I wish they had done comparisons of commuting via public transit rather than driving. I have friends in NYC and SF that routinely commute 1.5 hours on the train and don't complain about it one bit.
