Commuting in urban areas is one of life's daily hassles, and just about everyone can tell horror stories of delayed buses, late arrivals, broken-down cars, angry drivers, and over-heated trains. The authors take a scholarly look at issues such as current research, commuter flows and transportation modes, environmental and sociological factors, physical symptoms of commuting stress, behavioral and attitudinal effects, and coping techniques for individuals, governments, and organizations to make commuting more tolerable.
