Mumbai Employee Details Exhausting Six-Hour Daily Commute for Rs 35,000 Salary
A Mumbai employee earning Rs 35,000 monthly shared on Reddit the exhaustion of a six-hour daily commute from Badlapur to Goregaon. Their routine involves waking at 5 am, multiple train changes, a 30-minute shared rickshaw wait, and long work hours, leaving little time outside work. Financial constraints prevent relocating closer to the office, as affordable housing near Goregaon is unavailable. The employee’s experience highlights the challenges of balancing work, commute, and living costs in Mumbai.
