Feedback at 5:00: Daily Commute

Posted: Updated:

Think your drive to work takes a while?

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, around 600,000 Americans now have what has been called a "megacommute."

They drive more than 50 miles and spend more than an hour and a half on the road just to get to work.

These long commutes are typically found in large cities.

Nearly 11 million people had "long commutes" that took over an hour each way in 2011.

How long is your commute each day, and where do you have to go?

It's tonight's "Feedback at 5:00."
