commuting distance
Workday journey length
Commuting distance is how far someone travels between home and work.
The phrase usually implies a reasonable or tolerable range: We found a house within commuting distance of the city.
What counts as commuting distance varies by region and transportation—an hour's drive might be acceptable in Los Angeles but excessive in a smaller town.
