Commuting. What's yours to work?

neuronpetkowski · 11-09-2006, 11:25 AM

It's killing me.
2hrs to get to work, less than that to go home, depending on the time.

What's everyone elses?
For those that work at home...yah, yah, I do envy you..."It's a walk down the hall", etc...

But for drivers...anyone near my insanity?

KL2DC · 11-09-2006, 11:31 AM

About an hour. 10 miles. NoVa to NW DC. 40 minutes on a good day.

That's reasonable KL2DC...

Ninjaneer · 11-09-2006, 11:36 AM

45-60 mins depending on traffic. About 25 miles, 90% highway driving. And I'm sick of it, need a closer job so my warranty can last longer

LTO · 11-09-2006, 11:39 AM

45 minutes. luckily i have my 03 corolla for my commute. so much better gas mileage in stop and go traffic.

Nikki · 11-09-2006, 11:43 AM

wow. well i'm 1 mile from work but it takes me 15-30 minutes

just4kickz · 11-09-2006, 11:46 AM

if school is work... .5-1 mile to class or 8-10 mins biking.

txusa03 · 11-09-2006, 11:46 AM

25 miles and about 40-50 minutes commute time.

Zargon · 11-09-2006, 11:48 AM

2.5 miles each way, about a 10 minute drive.

MrSilver · 11-09-2006, 11:54 AM

About 10 minutes if I hit traffic.

7 if I get lucky with the lights.

Richwm · 11-09-2006, 12:00 PM

My commute is about 10 miles (from NJ into NYC). Fortunately, I don't have to drive very often. A bus and one subway ride results in a 45 min commute. If I drive it takes closer to 90 min to 2 hours during rush hour. Coming home has taken me as long as 3 hours (stuck at the Lincoln Tunnel).

Nikki I think you'd be better off walking, jogging or biking to work.

Get 2 miles of exercise/day, save gas and don't have to deal with traffic!

cdheaven · 11-09-2006, 02:00 PM
