"In terms of time efficiency, the U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that people spend on average 52 minutes each working day commuting. Imagine being able to spend that time more productively."

You can, it's called taking the bus, and in the process it actually employs some people such as drivers, cleaning personnel, etc.

Not every place in the US has buses. I commute about 45 minutes each way and no public transit available.

Of course, but as the statement was said it was if there was no way of commuting without oneself being the driver.
