commuting patterns

Commuting patterns refer to the typical ways and routes people travel between their homes and workplaces. They can vary by distance, mode of transportation (such as driving, biking, walking, or using public transit), and time of day. These patterns are influenced by factors like job location, transportation options, costs, and personal preferences. Understanding commuting patterns helps city planners and policymakers improve transportation systems, reduce congestion, and create more efficient, accessible urban environments. Overall, they reveal how people move within a region and how that movement shapes daily life and infrastructure needs.
