That wasn't what you were suggesting by the way we worded it.

I said:

6 hours per day commuting is 3 hours one way, which in almost every country in the world is called "super commuting" and it affects a very small minority of people:

-> the average commute is under 30 minutes each way.
-> commutes longer than 2 hours affect only 2% of workers.
So yeah, that's what "niche" means.
Besides that, I literally listed some recommended distances (up to 1km for walking, up to 10-12k for cycling), don't tell me your commute was 3h one way for a distance under 12km? You can walk 12km in less than 3h one way :-)
