In Punjab cities, employees reach work in an average of 20 minutes, beating the national average of 27 minutes and outpacing neighboring Haryana.
A recent study released by Amar Ujala shows that commuters in Punjab's urban centers reach their workplaces in an average of 20 minutes.
This figure is notably lower than the national average of 27 minutes and represents a 7‑minute advantage over the neighboring state of Haryana.
The report attributes the shorter commute to improved road infrastructure, efficient public transport routes, and lower traffic congestion in Punjab's major cities.
Officials say the data could influence future urban planning and employment policies, encouraging more businesses to set up operations in the state.
