claudia estanislau Dec 2, 2006:
there is a difference in those terms. Touristically they all actually mean different things. This context refers only to to travel time between 2 major cities, so travel is the correct term. :)

Creo que tiene más el significado de "itinerario"? journey? route? NO sé...!!

Commute/commuting

In this context, commute fits very well. We travel when we go to another destination for a specific purpose, we commute on a regular basis, as in a commute to/from work, etc.

One of the meanings of commute:


3 : to travel back and forth regularly (as between a suburb and a city)

Note from asker:
Gracias por la sugerencia!
Muchas gracias, creo que algo así podría servir: travel time o incluso transport time, porque el contexto tiene que ver con logística. Gracias
