A growing number of young professionals choose to live in Turin and work in Milan. According to Bloomberg, this trend is transforming the axis connecting the two cities into a sprawling metropolitan area in northern Italy. The primary driver of this trend is the expense of living. House prices and rentals in Milan have risen significantly faster than in Turin during the last 10 years. Today, the average cost of buying a home in the Lombardy capital is about three times that of the Piedmontese metropolis, while rents are more than 80% higher. Many workers, particularly young lawyers, managers, and consultants, find that taking the train to work every day is more fiscally viable than living close to work. The development of high-speed rail has also been important. The 140 kilometers between Turin and Milan are now considered a daily commute: rail travel between the two cities has nearly tripled since 2010. The train has evolved into a true mobile office, allowing passengers to work, receive calls, and prepare for meetings while traveling. Meanwhile, Turin is regaining popularity due to reduced expenses, a more living pace, and a perceived higher quality of life. However, the new mode of transportation carries its own set of challenges: train delays, cumulative fatigue, and season ticket fees are all having a growing impact on daily life.
