A commuter is someone who travels regularly from one place to another for work or school.
When people talk about commuters, they're usually talking about their daily routine of getting to and from a job or class. Commuters might live far away from where they work, so they need to spend time traveling each day. They often use public transportation like buses, trains, or subways, but some drive a car. Some people also commute for leisure activities, like athletes who travel to competitions.
One who commutes (etymology 1).
