Recently, a video of a woman recording the process of going to work from Zhangjiakou to Beijing Qinghe every morning with a camera attracted the attention of netizens. The woman spends 5 hours commuting to work every day, the cost is 188 yuan, and it is more than 6,000 yuan a month, and the woman said that she has insisted on it for three years.
According to the woman's own statement, she got up at 5:40 every day, spent 21 yuan to take a taxi to Zhangjiakou high-speed railway station to take the high-speed train, and sat from Zhangjiakou to Beijing Qinghe at 6:40, spending 72 yuan. Arrive at the station around 8 o'clock, then change to the subway, and finally walk 7 minutes to the company, and arrive at the station at 8:45.
The woman said that the reason for insisting on such an extreme commuting was that on the one hand, it was to accompany her two children, and on the other hand, she had tried to live alone in Beijing, but she was too lonely and depressed. But according to the video updated by the woman last month, she has left Beijing and returned to Zhangjiakou because "the money is not appropriate."
Netizen: Commuting fees are higher than many people's salaries
Netizens were divided on the woman's choice to commute 5 hours a day. Some people think that this is too time-consuming and unnecessary.
Some netizens believe that if the salary is right, it is worth commuting longer to accompany the children.
Commuting for more than 1 hour is considered "extreme commuting"
A 45-minute commute is globally recognized as an ideal dividing line, and commuting longer than 60 minutes is defined as an "extreme commute". So, what is the latest commuting portrait of China's major cities?
According to the "2022 China Major Cities Commuting Monitoring Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") jointly released by the Urban Transport Infrastructure Monitoring and Governance Laboratory of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, and Baidu Map, more than 14 million people endured an extreme commute of more than 60 minutes in 2021.
Among them, Beijing is the city with the largest population of "extreme commuting" in the country, an increase of 3 percentage points year-on-year, and the proportion of commuting more than 60 minutes has reached 30% for the first time.
