You're going to have to add me to the list of folks you hate.

In the Summer time, my commute is exactly 5 miles long. 10 minutes door-to door.
This time of year, I am semi-retired. Yawn!

If it makes you feel any better, when I was a sales rep. I distinctly remember walking out of my last stop at 5:15, knowing I had a 2 hour drive ahead of me. Almost no traffic to speak of, just most of Western Nova Scotia.

Life is good now.

18 minutes door-to-door if I walk. Faster if I hop on the bus.

It takes me an hour to get to work.

The map says the average for my home base is 23 min; I average 50 to 70 min (45 miles) depending on traffic and which shift I'm on.

From 1992 to 1999, I had a 54 miles commute each way. It was OK, mostly because there was no traffic.

peppy 03-08-2013 06:17 AM

For me it's 63 miles each way and about 1.5 hrs. If I drop my son off at daycare it's another 15 min.

kinda sucks on the long days. I leave at 8 am and get home about 2 am.

I wouldn't mind the hour commute so much if it wasn't all stop and go in traffic.

If it makes you feel any better it takes 20 minutes when I ride my bike.

The app says average 34.9 miles. My wife and I both commute 3hours/day. She goes ~70 miles East and I drive ~70miles South. Both actively looking for local work for the past 3years but no luck.

20 miles....45 to 60 minutes in the truck....30 to 40 on the motorcycle.

I have a 10 mile city commute. It can take a minimum of 25 minutes or 2 hours and anywhere in between.

Since I live in Chicago - The President often visits. Usually it is a Friday around 4pm -5pm. When this happens, it is faster to walk home as the expressways are shut down.

Aggie93 03-08-2013 07:00 AM

I'm at 30 min +/- 5 min. Half the drive is local roads, half interstate. Usually minimal bottlenecks as long as I hit the interstate by 7:00 and none if I get on at 6:45.

When I lived in Dallas it was 45 min, but took light rail for half of it. I hated the days I had to drive to the office.

Obama built me a 152 million dollar intersection so now it is only 15 miles and takes 20 minutes. That is if I can avoid the 5 police cars looking to give tickets.

This used to be the intersection of two two lane roads and a stoplight.

If this was in/around DC, it would be considered deserted. Where are all the cars?

fintstone 03-08-2013 08:11 AM

2 1/2 hours. On a good day at 4am I can make it in 2 if I am late and exceed the speed limit by 50 mph at times.

That's just a concept drawing.

hahaha! Somebody kick me! :D

VincentVega 03-08-2013 08:53 AM

60 miles each way, thankfully it's not everyday.

Schumi 03-08-2013 08:59 AM

In Los Angeles my commute was about 30 minutes, all on PCH. So that was 50 minutes a day I was sitting in a car going about 15 mph on average.

Now my commute is about 5 minutes. Amazing what a difference it can make. I do more things now after work than I used to.

Same here. Problem is the commute doubles if you pull over to get coffee in the kitchen.
