I do 80 plus miles a day. 45 min to get to work in the morns, 60 min to get home but, I take back roads over the SC mountains to avoid traffic. Adds a little time but, my stress is relieved by the twisties
  I gladly do it for the benefits of where I live...

12 miles to my office. It takes 20-25 mins if I am out the door by 615am. After that it takes 40-60 mins.
Home is 30-40 mins if Ieave anytime after 4pm I'm often out in the field though...I've driven almost 200 miles today. My 45 miles commute back tonight is taking about 2 hrs. Fridays are the worst. |

8 miles, an about 15 minutes. Wouldn't want it any other way. Close enough to ride my bike on nice days too.

About 100 miles/day. 50 mile commute. ~60 minutes in morning and 75 in evening. I don't like losing 2+ hours a day like this. Into my 3rd year.

2.4 miles. Can be almost 10 minutes if there's gridlock.

I am guessing there are circumstances such as no pedestrian access? (Tell her the walk will make her legs look better )I had a fellow who worked for me a couple of decades back. drove about that far to work. He couldn't understand why his exhaust pipe rusted out so fast.  That is murder on a vehicle. Best Les

Mine used to be about 38 miles each way. That could take anywhere from 45 minutes to nearly two hours depending on traffic, and it was all highway. An accident could cripple the highway system completely at any time and all you can do is inch along.
Now it is 2.3 miles and it is all on surface streets. I have to take the long way if I choose to drive the 911 just so she'll get to temp--but of course that's not a problem. I did the long commute for nearly 9 years and it was seriously beginning to erode my sanity. I drove this particular stretch of highway a few weeks ago and the memories of all the time I wasted there starting flooding back. Never again!
