How Long is Your Drive/Commute to Work?

[Jagosaurus]

Looks like we have everything from 5 mins to an hour. I'm not counting you work @ home folks as we all want to kick you...

My old job I was working 70 hours a week & driving roughly 20 mins each way. Even with driving 45 mins now (before my move to a closer location, shaving about 10 min off each way), I'm working around 43 hours a week now + my drive got longer.... but I gained about 23ish hours free time a week lol (essentially an entire day!) when you add work + drive time & I dig my job. Sometimes the gig is worth it.

I feel you guys in Seattle. Houston traffic is also a beast. 1,000 ppl move to TX each day, roughly 70% of that is to Houston. Roads are getting very crammed.

I suppose I luck out. I can literally see my job from my upstairs window. So at most a 5 minute walk...

...which means I have a tough time calling out due to how close I live.

Stay-at-home dad.

When I hear "dada" in the morning it takes me about 10 seconds to walk to my daughter's room.

When I worked at an elementary school it would generally take about 30 minutes to get there (one way). It was about 17 miles or so.

It's about a 30-minute walk for me. Get some good exercise there and back, it's nice.

Bonez, no kids yet for me but jealous

Adam, wow, taxis I've rode in are stupid expensive. I complain about my $1 EZ Tag toll road fee

Catnip, nice. Wish I could bike to work. Too hot in Texas 95% of the time any way lol

Haha, I've got the opposite problem - in VT, there's snow on the ground at least 5-6 months out of the year. About a month ago, it was around -15 or so, and last week we got about 20 inches of snow. The past three months have been me walking up ice-slicked sidewalks, praying I don't tear an ACL xD but soon! In two short months, the snow and ice will be gone!! Hooray!

I'm pretty lucky. I live only a ten minute drive away from my weekday job. I often spend more time looking for parking than I do driving. When the weather is nice, I can bicycle or walk to work. It's about a thirty minute walk from my front door to my office.

My weekend job is in another town about 50 minutes away. I don't really like that commute, but my weekend job is fun. It comes with fringe benefits.

I have a 5 minute walk to work. Shortest commute I've ever had, and it rocks.

takes me about 10-15 minutes. i work and live downtown so it's basically all dependent on traffic any given day.

biking takes me about 20-30 minutes, depending on which route i take and how sweaty i want to get before i get to work. we have a really nice downtown bike infrastructure (here's a nice article on it if you're interested)

if i take the bus it takes about 45 min to an hour total, but that includes walking to the nearest stop, waiting for the one transfer that i have to take and walking from the stop on campus to my office. our bus system is getting better but it's still pretty inefficient as it stands.

That video makes me want to live in Indianapolis.
