Claim type 1 of 10
Minutes to a place
The most common claim: a single travel time to a named destination, with no hour, day or mode attached.
“X minutes to the tech park”
What it usually measures
Usually one drive at a quiet hour, often from the nearest main road rather than the project gate, ending at the edge of the destination area rather than a particular building.
What it leaves out
- The hour of travel. A weekday 9 am trip and a Sunday 7 am trip on the same road can differ several times over.
- The spread across days. One trip says nothing about how often the trip runs long.
- The first and last legs: gate to main road, parking, and the walk from the car to your desk.
- Which mode. A two wheeler, a car and a cab with a pickup wait are different trips.
Questions to ask
- At what time of day and on which day was this measured?
- From which point, the gate or the main road, and to which building?
- By car, two wheeler or public transport?
- Was it measured once, or across several working days?
Check it yourself
- Make the trip at the hour you would actually leave, on at least three different weekdays.
- Start the timer at the gate you would use and stop it at your office entrance.
- Write down the date, the departure time and the total for each trip.
How Claim Check handles it
Claim Check reads the destination and mode, measures the gate to entrance trip at weekday peak, and shows the hours and days at which the claimed figure would hold.
Try Claim CheckIs a “minutes to a place” claim wrong?
Not necessarily. Most claims are real measurements under particular conditions. The point is to find out which conditions, and whether they are yours.
Will you tell me which projects use this claim?
No. We never name or rank projects, developers, brokers or portals. Claim Check results are private to the person who runs them.
Measure the trip you’ll actually make.
Your home, your office, your hours, across ten working days. Typical and bad day time, with the method on the page.
