I have a 50 minute drive Monday-Friday to get to my campus, but compared to other situations my drive is a walk in the park... until the snow comes (I live in Minnesota) and the roads turn into skate rinks.

 

[-Deimos]

20 minute drive then 20 minute bus ride to school plus traffic and waiting for bus. Fun times.

I was an angry person when I had to battle traffic to and from work. My new 5 min commute is much better for my health and mood since I'm not wasting away my life in a car.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Normally not, but at least once a month there's a collision and then my commute goes to complete shit. Then it goes from a 40 minute commute to 2 or more hours.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I'm sorry, man. Seattle/Eastside traffic is just dreadful and it's gotten much worse since the 520 toll.

They need to expand 405 by at least 2 lanes on each side, starting from exit 4 to 13. I don't know why they haven't done so yet...

 

[soundscream]

My last job was a 50 min commute my new one is a 7 min one. Old job had better hours though :/

 

[Hieberrr]

No, but what should take 10-15 minutes turns into a 30-45 minute commute because of shitty public transit. Ugh...

 

[Red Comet]

Not quite, I've got a 40 minute commute from my university to my house. I actually enjoy it somewhat because it is pretty much just a straight road with not too much traffic until I hit either town. It's just a good time to think and listen to music. Though if it were much longer than 40 minutes I could see how it would get old fast.

5 minute drive, but I usually make it a 10-15 minute bike ride for the free exercise.
My fiancee drives about 7 minutes to work. We fill up our cars once a month, each, so we spend only about $60 a month on gas total.

Unless you work from home, yeah, you know you're jelly.

I take a bus, but its more than 1 hour

 

[FLAguy954]

Haha oh man my commute requires almost all transportation modes to get to work.

I drive my truck to the train station
I take train for an hour
I then ride my bike to a bus stop
Take the bus and then continue to ride my bike to work.

I wake up at 5:30-5:50am and i get to work at 8:15 to 8:30am.....fuck you california.

I had a similar commute last summer:

- I ride my bike to the bus stop (Marta - Metro Atlanta)
- I take the bus to the train station
- I ride the train for about 45 min
- I take another bus to a stop closest to where I work (which is a little over three miles from where I work because of the massive route cuts)
- I then proceed to ride my bike for about 3.5 miles to work

I left at 8 am just to make it to work early by 11:30 am aka fuck Georgia/Marta (as useful as it can sometimes be)

 

[renitou]

Between 50 and 90 minutes each way, depending on the day and the traffic. Die a little bit inside each week. Ah well.

 

[DrBaalzamon]

Jesus no. 20min Max, and that includes a swing by a coffee shop!

 

[outunderthestars]

1.2 miles from home to office.

Fuck that ordeal.

Back when I worked in Brussels it was 3-4 hours a day of commuting every day. And that was on good days... those were not frequent.

It went like this:
- Car to train station, wait for train (15 mins)
- Take train to station A (15 mins)
- Wait for train to station B (15 mins)
- Arrive at station B, go to tram/bus (40 mins)
- Take tram or bus to offices (25 mins)
- Walk to offices (10 mins)

And then again in reverse in the evening. I endured tgat torture for a year and a half before I left.

 

[FLAguy954]

Fuck that ordeal.

It was my first job so I made it a point to bust my ass to both make to work everyday and to save a ton on transportation costs, which I totally did.

 

[tokyostomp]

I do more now especially.

Most of the time I work from home but since the holidays are upon us I have been consistently driving across L.A., (Hollywood), The O.C., and even the I.E.

Have to prep my field team.

Not fun.

Traffic in Hawaii, Oahu specifically, sucks ass. Today I left my house at 6am and got to work at 815. If there was no traffic it would take 30 minutes.

You live in Hawaii, appreciate your situation. I used to walk 5 miles each way to work when I lived on Maui and was happy to do so.

Now I'm in So Cal and it's ~35 miles to work, so my drive time is anywhere from 30-45 minutes depending. Way longer in the case of freeway closures or accidents. Or rain, one drop of moisture turns the entire driving populace in my area crazy.
