The analysis estimated that cutting daily commutes out of the equation has saved Americans about $758 million a day in time and expense since the pandemic began.

Estimating $12.50 an hour for the time spent in transit, Americans, have saved about $411 million a day by staying home instead of driving to work, according to Bloomberg News. Ozimek estimated another $183 million a day in savings from fewer trips to gas stations or mechanics.
