Daily commute times for low-income formal-sector workers often exceed three hours, and the average direct cost of transportation is equivalent to roughly two hours of work at the minimum wage. An eight-hour shift becomes an 11-hour shift for which net pay is only six hours.
在典型的发展中国家城市做到这一点很有难度。低收入正规部门职工日通勤时间往往在三小时以上，而且平均直接交通成本约等于最低工资者两小时的工资总和。8小时工作制也因此变成11小时工作制，但只有6小时工作能拿到净收入。
