Mumbai Employee Details Exhausting Six-Hour Daily Commute from Badlapur to Goregaon
A Mumbai employee commuting daily from Badlapur to Goregaon spends about six hours traveling via local trains and shared rickshaws, leaving little time beyond work and sleep. Earning Rs 35,000 monthly, the worker cannot afford housing near the office, citing expensive or unhygienic options. The routine involves waking at 5 am, reaching the office by 10 am, and returning home around 11 pm, with only Sundays off. Social media users suggested alternatives like relocating or changing jobs.
