Ever wondered how far New Yorkers travel each day? A recent study has unveiled some eye-opening statistics about the average daily miles traveled by residents of different boroughs in New York City.

These numbers shed light on the diverse commuting habits in the city that never sleeps.

Digging deeper into the commute habits, it's fascinating to see how the urban landscape influences travel distances.
