> I suspect the median is probably longer then that.

Generally when the median is greater than the mean, it's because there's a long tail to the left dragging the mean down. I expect that the opposite is true: there is a long tail to the right, with a small number of people who have exceptionally long commutes.

So I'd expect the median to be lower, like it is for salaries.
