    A. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will reduce because the indirect cost of the commute will fall.

    B. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will increase because the indirect cost of the commute will rise.

    C. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will reduce because the direct cost of the train ticket will fall.

    D. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will increase because the direct cost of the train ticket will rise

    Answer:

    A. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will reduce because the indirect cost of the commute will fall

    Explanation:

    Technological advances in wireless communication technology, would reduce the indirect cost of long commutes from any given distance which would cause a reduction in the total cost of commuting, as a function of the effect of geographic area of cities. Direct cost of train ticket would not be affected as the efficiency of the services that train and car riders would offer would increase, as well as the satisfaction they would also enjoy from such technological advances.
