How wartime shipyard workers reached distant jobs

How did American shipyard workers commute twenty to sixty miles when civilian tires were scarce?

They relied on trains, public transport, and dedicated shipyard buses, with little margin for missing the scheduled ride.

Wartime tire shortages constrained private cars even though many American shipyard workers lived twenty to sixty miles from their jobs. Public transport and trains supplied the main answer. Kaiser and other major yards also organized dedicated buses to collect their workforce. Missing the assigned bus could mean losing the day's work and potentially the job, making transport an essential part of industrial mobilization.
