To travel regularly between two places.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'TGV' has created a class of 'super-commuters' who live in cities like Tours or Lille but work in Paris, spending 2-3 hours on high-speed trains daily. Commuting is a major part of Belgian life due to the centralization of jobs in Brussels. The term 'navetteur' is used very frequently in national media. In Quebec, the term 'navettage' is sometimes used to describe the commute, especially in the context of the long distances between regional hubs. With many people living in France or Germany but working in Switzerland for higher wages, 'la navette transfrontalière' is a key economic and social topic.
