Learn English – Does “commute to” refer to both there and back from work

meaning

I want to tell someone the following:
"I bring an e-reader with me on the bus every day so that I have something to do during my commute to work."
Does the phrase "commute to work" clearly refer to the trip there and the trip back from work? Or is it more proper to say "commute to and from work" in order to ensure that it is clear that I mean both directions?

Best Answer

Using the word 'to' adds a sense of direction (that being towards place of work).

I would use:

"my daily commute"

since the word commute already describes the travel between work.
