About
Does not Commute is a temporal paradox in which you have no one to blame but yourself. What starts out as a relaxing commute in a small town of the 1970's quickly devolves into traffic chaos with hot dog trucks, sports cars, school buses and dozens of other vehicles. You drive them all. Plan ahead. Don't be late.
In this small town, discover the characters and their secrets – what world-changing experiment is inventive dentist Dr Charles Schneider hiding? Will Mr Baker quit his job in advertising? What is that strange mask on Mrs Griffin's face? Will Mr Mayfield’s peculiar obsession with Yorkshire Terriers take over his life?

Critic reviews
- 9.0Thankfully, Does Not Commute is hilarious, which is what really keeps you coming back. ...Even if Does Not Commute winds up being a bit too repetitive for your tastes, you certainly won’t forget the time you spend with it. That’s high praise for any game on the hyper-crowded App Store.
- What you get here is a game that straddles that balance between challenge and frustration, has a player-friendly free model to it, and is amusing and charming to boot. Definitely download Does Not Commute, whatever you do.
- 8.0Crashing merely slows things down however, and you only really lose once the ever-present timer hits zero. Which it will if you aren’t mindful of it, since it won’t reset between vehicles. Although the further you progress the more optional power-ups (like armor or turbo) you’ll unlock. ...With or without checkpoints, Does Not Commute is a very fun and clever arcade/puzzle/driving… thing.
- 8.0A clever and endearing mashing up of genres and styles, Does not Commute doesn't always work, but when it clicks it's pretty special.
