We put on about 7000km per year between both of us on our vehicles, and most of that are Canmore trips or Edmonton. Otherwise it's just groceries, shopping, friends, outings. So let's say I average 50km/h(which is probably low considering the large chunk of km's are at least double that) that's 140 hours a year which is 23 minutes a day total for two people. If half of that is single use, that's 16.5 minutes a day per person.
I can't find a way to round up to an hour with these assumptions, and I know they aren't far off because I'd find an hour a day driving soul sucking(unless it's fun driving). And I'm pretty sure I still have a decent chunk of my soul left.
Walking, biking, transit...all options I use.
