[The amount of super commuters in Los Angeles County] is greaterthan the national average of 2.9%, but not by a significantamount," Christopher Salviati of Apartment List,tells GlobeSt.com.

Riverside County has the region's highest super commuter shareat 7.1%, followed by San Bernardino County at 6.2%."

When you isolate for public transit, the number of supercommuters increases substantially.
