20 minutes each way. It's exactly 19.75 miles to my office. I take a different way a couple times a week just to break up the monotony.

In the morning 20ish minutes, an hour sometimes in the afternoon..gotta love Houston Traffic.

7 miles. Three traffic lights.

30 min, 40 min if I strike a road train leaving town.

4.5 country miles to the office. Average here is 23.2. I seldom drive over 45 mph on my commute.
Lately been remodeling a house that's 4 miles away the other direction. Lowes and HD are 12 miles. I can run a tank of gas through the truck in one week (350 miles) without leaving the county.

Never more than 7 minutes, 3 stop signs 4 stop lights. On a good day I never have to put a foot down.

About 7 minutes. When I worked elsewhere it was 20-25, I didn't mind the opportunity to wind down on my way home as others have mentioned. Stop and go rush hour would drive me the most insane, no thanks.

Too long. Much too long.

I am 10 mi as the crow flies from home to office. It takes 35-40 min at 5:30 AM to reach the office and 55 min by street or 60-90 min to get home via the highway (22 mi). I am going from the most southern to the most northern part of Brooklyn.

It was 100 miles a day until last July, now it's 20 miles a day.

About 30 miles or about 35 - 40 minutes depending on traffic in the last 5 miles which is a heavily traveled artery into the city. The other 25 miles are back country roads which are a blast to drive. There are a couple extended routes which run along the river and are joy to blast through. That detour takes an extra 10 minutes but allows me to decrease stress levels by an additional 50% which makes it worthwhile.

Speedy:)

10 hour days, 35 mile commute adding an additional 45 minutes each way to an already long day.

jyl 03-08-2013 04:15 AM

About 12-14 minutes in, 15-18 back, depending on effort.

KNS 03-08-2013 04:19 AM

One hour each way (60 miles one way). With the usual 12 hour shift my day is 14 hours everyday. If I get off late it can be a 15 or 16 hour day.

Jferr006 03-08-2013 04:38 AM

40 mins.. its not so bad though I, I get to rock out the whole way there. Hubs commutes from RVA to DC.

zipinitaly 03-08-2013 04:53 AM

47 miles each way. Around an hour in the morning on a bus and the afternoon commute is never less than 75 minutes, can be as long as 180 minutes between the metro and slug line.
That is life in N VA....

In Tampa that means about 30 minutes. ;)

When I am not doing a 30 sec commute to my home office, my commute involves planes & rental cars & it can take up to 6 hours although I have had much, much longer.

To those with five and ten min commutes, I hate you.........

asphaltgambler 03-08-2013 04:59 AM

@45-50 minutes. In the Northern Va area that's very good, but I also carpool which allows us to use the HOV lanes on Rt. 66 which typically is very congested. Plus I arrive at the office @7:20am and leave by 4.
