Bay Area Transit Workers Go On Strike
If you haven’t commuted to work since the pandemic hit, here’s how much time you saved.
The average amount of time saved in the US by not commuting to work? 8.6 days! In San Francisco and Oakland it’s about 11 days, and San Jose a bit over 9 days. In LA, it’s about 10 days. The number comes from the Census Bureau, and the number of days most people work in a year, about 242.8, factoring sick days and vacation time.

Stacy Allegro from Marin was one of the first people we spoke with at the beginning on the pandemic. It was about a month in and we saw her story on the news. On March 18, 2020, Stacy started getting symptoms after her husband returned from a trip to Morocco. Eleven days later she was in the emergency room with COVID-19.
Stacy said she ll always remember her medical team at Kaiser in Marin and how helpful they were. She used to leave them notes on the wall in her hospital room. She recalled how they all looked like they were from outer space due to the hazmat suits they wore in the hospital at the beginning of the pandemic and none of us knew what to expect.
