reverse commute
Outbound morning drive
A reverse commute is travel in the opposite direction from most traffic—typically from a city center outward to suburbs during rush hour, when the majority flows inward.
The term implies easier travel against the dominant flow: The reverse commute means I never hit traffic.
Someone with a reverse commute lives where others work and works where others live.
