Even minutes add up. I only have a 5 min commute, but with my 260 workdays, that comes to 2 x 5 mins x 260 = 2600 minutes, or 43.3 hours. That over one work-week of lost time.
But I do work with people that have one hour commutes, each way. For them, that's 520 hours a year - or almost 3 MONTHS worth of working hours, just to sit in a car. And not all are blessed to have public transport - so that two hour commute means eyes on road and hands on the wheel.
We haven't even touched on things like fuel, tollbooths, vehicle maintenance, etc.
