What is the impact of commuting on mental health?
Commuting to work has been repeatedly shown to have a negative impact on mental health. A study of commuters in Latin America found that, with every 10 minutes of commuting, people had a 0.5% higher probability of developing depression. In addition, workers who took public transportation to work were found to have a 4.8% lower chance of screening positively for depression than people who drove to work.
