Before revision:  Using data from Great Britain, US and Denmark , we show that the commuting distance is (i) broadly distributed with a tail decaying typically as 1/r^\gamma with \gamma \approx 3 and (ii) an average growing slowly as a power law with an exponent less than one that depends on the country considered.
