How a commute claim is built

Every claim is true at some hour, from some point, by some road.

None of these needs an invented number. Each is a real measurement under conditions you will rarely travel in. A home is chosen for years, and the commute is the cost you pay every working day.

  • The hour

    A drive timed early on a weekend morning, when the road is empty, is reported as the commute.

  • The start and end point

    The time is measured from a highway exit or the metro station, not from your gate to your office desk.

  • The road that isn’t there yet

    The route assumes a flyover, expressway or metro line that is still under construction or only proposed.

The same trip described five ways. Each is a real condition; only one column is your commute.

What a report shows

The trip you will make, measured the way you will make it.

Every report covers one home and the places your household goes. This is the worked example we use throughout the site: a fictional project and fictional destinations.

Morning window, by departure time

TypicalBad day
03060908:008:158:308:459:009:159:30Leave 8:15 instead: 5 min quicker typical
Worked example: Kestrel Grove to Northgate Tech Park by car, departures every 15 minutes on 10 working days.
  • Two numbers, never one

    The median of ten working days, and the trip one in ten days took longer than. The second one is the day that makes you late.

  • Your hours, every 15 minutes

    Sampled across the windows you choose, so you can see what leaving at 8:15 instead of 8:30 saves.

  • Every leg written down

    Gate to road, parking, the walk from the metro exit and the wait for the train, each with its source.

  • “Upcoming” kept separate

    Lines and roads that are not open never enter today’s time. Their status is shown as the agency publishes it.

Read how we measure

How it works

Four stops from a pin to a range.

  1. 01

    Drop the pin

    Enter the project name, address, or a pin on the map. Add the places your household goes: offices, school, metro, airport.

  2. 02

    Pick your hours

    Choose when you leave and return, and how you travel. Two people with different offices and timings are fine.

  3. 03

    We measure for ten working days

    Each trip is sampled at your departure times on real weekdays, with transit timetables and walking legs added, and every assumption written down.

  4. 04

    Read the range

    Typical and bad day time for every trip, how much leaving 15 minutes earlier helps, and any claim from the ad set beside the measurement.

Claim Check

Paste the line from the ad. See what it leaves out.

Paste “15 minutes from the airport” or “walking distance to metro” and Imperibuild works out which kind of claim it is, measures the trip, and explains the difference. The result is private to you.

How Claim Check works

Claim type

Minutes to a place

A single 25 minute trip with no hour, day or mode stated.

What it leaves out

  • The hour and day of measurement
  • Start at the gate, end at the building
  • The spread across days

Ask: At what time, on what day, from which gate?

How to check this claim type

This reads the claim only. A report then measures the trip it implies at your hours. Results are private to you.

Questions

What people ask before they measure.

Something else? Write to support@imperibuild.com.

Where do your times come from?

Road legs come from a licensed traffic aware routing source, sampled at your departure times on ten working days. Metro, rail and bus legs come from published timetables or frequencies. Walking legs come from map data and our own field checks. Field Verified reports add trips made by our surveyors with GPS logs. Every report names its sources and dates.

Why two numbers instead of one?

Because a commute is a range, not a figure. The typical trip is the median across all sampled days. The bad day trip is the 90th percentile: one trip in ten took longer. The second number is the one that makes you late.

Can't I just check a map app myself?

You can, and you should for a first look. A map app shows one moment. A report samples every 15 minutes in your windows on ten working days, counts the walk and the wait, and gives you a dated record with the method written down.

Do you count the walk to the metro and the wait for the train?

Yes. Walking from the gate to a usable station entrance, the walk to the platform where field measured, the wait from the published headway, interchanges, and the walk from the exit to your destination are all counted.

What about monsoon traffic?

A report describes the period it measured. Every paid report includes one free remeasurement within 90 days, and we recommend using it during the monsoon on corridors with a flooding history.

Can I check what a specific ad says?

Yes. Paste the line into Claim Check. It identifies the kind of claim, measures the trip it implies at weekday peak, and shows the conditions under which the claimed figure would hold. The result is private to you.

Do developers pay you, and does that change the numbers?

Developers can pay for Verified Commute, which measures the destinations they want to advertise. They pay for measurement, not a result. They cannot edit, hide or reorder a measured number, and if they withdraw, the public page says so with the date.

What happens to my home and office locations?

They are used only to measure your report. They never go to analytics tools and are never shared with developers, brokers or advertisers. Free check data is deleted after 30 days unless you buy a report or save the home.
