Do you think commuting in a car is relaxing?
If so, think again.
A new survey reports that about a third of the 2,000 commuters feel “agitated or stressed” out before they even get to work. Those feelings probably come because car commuters, on average, spend about 580 minutes in the car each month — or about five days per year.

New York City’s adoption of congestion pricing measures is about a year away, but there are still many unknowns as to how, exactly, the policy will play out. Here are some of the proposals and what needs to be done so the city can implement congestion pricing.
Think you’ve got a traffic nightmare on your hands every morning? Well, how about what’s happened to Boston.
According to the Boston Globe, the region has added 300,000 cars and trucks. And Boston has more than 59,000 single-occupant commuters.
Those numbers and others illustrate just how one major metro area is overrun with traffic. It’s easily the same story, whether you go to New York City, Washington, D.C., and other metro areas.
When you look at Boston’s situation through the eyes of the Globe, you see many of the issues we highlight across the nation every week. Here are some of the findings from a Boston Globe investigation of traffic in the Boston metro area.
