BBC World Service - Business Daily, Commuting Hell

The daily grind of commuting around the world

How do workers around the world deal with ever-longer commutes?

As urban housing becomes more unaffordable around the world, Business Daily looks at the rise of the super-commuter. The programme hears from  commuters in Sao Paulo in Brazil and in the UK who spend many hours getting to work. And Manuela Saragosa hears how helicopters in Brazil or driverless buses in Sweden might make the future of commuting more acceptable.
