The average employee returning to the office spends $561 per month–that's the average two-person household’s grocery bill in the U.S. for the entire month.
The most challenging aspect of returning to the office is the commute. This isn’t surprising because commutes of only 30 minutes are linked to higher stress and anger, while 45 minutes or more is linked to poorer overall well-being, daily mood, and health.
When you have the stress of having to be somewhere at a specific time and place, any delay is a pain. Train/bus/boat/traffic whatever running late or with problems? It’s your fault supposedly for not ‘planning better’ in advance.
The commute also costs us.
So yeah. Spending 30 minutes one way. Hour daily, is an expense and time sink. It eats into your non-paid work time.

Commuting stinks.
