How long is your commute?

[DrVos]

Its about an 30 minute bike ride (8 miles) to work. I really enjoy my commute!

 

[rh71]

it's downstairs (where I'm sitting now). It's been this way for some odd years now, it's been so long I've actually lost count. Yes, ... one is the loneliest number.

7 minutes on a good day. 15 minutes if there is extra traffic.

My commute is usually between 45-60 minutes. I hate the commute, but I like everything else about where I live and where I work.
Fortunatly, I will be telecommuting 1 day per week in the coming month ... so it'll save me quite a bit of road time ... (may get 2 days per week down the road) ....

About 12 minutes. I don't mind as much as thirty, but I can't understand how someone in their right mind would accept a longer commute than that, unless they had kids and the closest decent school was more than 30 minutes from their workplace -- or they were living at home for free themselves.

1.6 miles, 3 minutes from my house to my desk. My wife stays at home with our 4 month old, but she used to drive about 8 miles - 15 minutes.

 

[FeuerFrei]

5 minutes each way

1.7 miles

I fill my gas tank once a month, barring any trips to other cities.

 

[wiredspider]

60 seconds to my computer...

Work can be 5-15 minutes depending on time of day and how I hit lights.

 

[shortylickens]

While in the Navy in CA: 10 minutes when I lived on base, and 15 when I lived off base.

My first civilian job in OR: 6 minutes.
2nd civilian job in OR: 10 minutes. 12 with traffic.

Back home at school: 30-45 minutes depending on the weather. I hate it. People in Virginia make a conscious effort to drive worse when there's rain.

Any longer and I start using the bus. Yes, gas is cheap now, but I'd just as soon not risk my vehicle with these idiots.

I cant imagine folks who spend an hour or more every day in their car. They must be miserable by the time they hit work. An hour on the train/metro doesnt thrill me either.

 

[xSauronx]

15 minutes to school, 5-15 minutes to work, depending on which job im heading to.

 

[JoeKing]

DC to Annapolis MD 30 miles

travel time

20-60 mins as the traffic flys

 

[MotionMan]

15 miles = 45 minute commute.

Twice that if it is raining.

If there is an accident on the 405, I just sleep at work

[keird]

10 miles in about 10-15 minutes.

 

[l0cke]

15 min walk plus 15 min bus

 

[Megatomic]

30 mins < my commute <1 hr

I can't vote with the options given in the poll.

 

[MadAmos]

25 min... if the wait at the vehicle search train isn't to long, if I get to work even ten minutes later the line takes an extra 15 min. Then after the .5 mile walk from the lot I park in the bomb sniffer, metal detector and the x-ray of anything you are carrying . All factored in I have to leave the house 1 hour before I start at 6am, If they didn't pay so well it would be suck.

 

[Evadman]

about 20 feet. 34 if i take a shower.

 

[Scarpozzi]

My commute to work is 2.7 miles. It takes me anywhere from 5-8 minutes in traffic thanks to lights and a 35mph speed limit.

My commute to my wife is currently 208 miles. It takes me approximately 3.5-4 hours depending on traffic in my city and through construction in another city 100 miles away that I have to go through. I can't wait for that commute to be non-existant. (she's in med school doing surgery rotations)

 

[sdifox]

good day (no accident on highway 401) 40-45 each way
really bad day :3 hours one way

 

[PrinceofWands]

45 to school. Very low traffic though, so no big deal.

 

[johnjohn320]

Well, you just asked 3 questions...so...I'm not sure how to vote.

i read that as your wife's commute is 200 miles. I was like wtf does she leave at 1am? I feel for her, surgery rotation sucks.

For most of my working career, my daily commute was over an hour one way...and much of that was 2 hours+ one way.

Nowadays, with school only about 4 miles away...10 minutes tops each way.

Currently to my high school is ~15 minutes. Will go up to 35 minutes when I head off to college.
