The daily journey to work has become one of the most important and conspicuous charactaristics of the urban community. Each work day, as regularly as clockwork between the hours of 7 and 9 in the morning, thousands of commuters travel to their places of work. Just as regularly, between 4 and 6 in the afte:rnoon 5 they return en masse to their homes. In fact, in cities where trro1sport surveys have been made, it has been revealed that journeys to work account for between one-sixth and one-third of all vehicular trips. In Metropolitan Aucland (Map I)? work trips comprise some 24 per cent of the trips recorded by a comprehensive transport survey. In Auckland, as in other cities of the western world, only trips to home are more numerous than those to work.
