Looks like I have one of the worst commutes. On a good day mine is 2 1/2 or 3 hours round trip depending on traffic. Luckily I only work fourteen days a month.

5 minutes. Kills my gas mileage.

45 minutes

Up to last October my communte consisted of catching an airplane Monday morning then flying back home Friday night.

Since then I've changed jobs and my commute is now a whopping 3.6 miles.

45 minutes, or about 37 miles one way.

At least I don't have to live on top of my neighbors and put up with city retards.

I'd kill for a 3 hour round trip in traffic. Read my earlier post.

... ~ 11-13 minutes either way

... Hopefully, if things go as planned, this will change before too long. I'm trying my best to retire from working for someone else before I hit 50

2.5 miles. Usually 8-10 minutes or so.

1:15, on train (subway) each way for me.

2.5*5*50=625 hours/year spent, 500 of which are inside a subway car. $500/yr in subway fare.

About 40 miles each way, 90 minutes to 2 hrs, includes a 30-45 minute ferry ride.

Getting about 16-17 mpg in my Pathfinder. So, $13-14 in gas, + $13 in ferry tolls.

200 yards. Patty

25 minutes for me.

I just measured it.

19 paces from my side of the bed to my office chair. 29 paces if I stop at the bath room on the way to the office.

Here is my office view:

3 miles round trip

From my bedroom I walk downstairs to the 4th bedroom that I converted to an office. Its sweet.

Whenever I need a break from work I open my gun safe and fondle a few ARs.

exactly 2 miles from apartment to office. However if I buy a house (considering it in the near future) that will increase to at least 15 miles.

Posted: 8/24/2005 7:18:56 AM EDT

[#17]

15 miles one way. Takes 30 mins. I get 35mpg in my 4 banger.

Posted: 8/24/2005 7:19:10 AM EDT

[#18]

30-45 minutes of local driving per trip, so roughly 1-1.5 hours spent on the road.

Posted: 8/24/2005 7:23:33 AM EDT

[#19]

About 5 seconds from my bedroom to my office. Sometimes I detour and head out the front foor first for a smoke. That brings it up to around 4 minutes.

If I actually go into the real office where everybody else is (almost never), it's 2hrs 15min, with most of it on the Ohio Turnpike (US-80). The tolls cost me $5.50 on top of what the gas runs me. I forget how many miles it is, but it ends up being a good 3/4 tank of gas round trip.

25 miles/35 min.

Posted: 8/24/2005 7:25:07 AM EDT

[#21]

10 miles one way

You nailed it.

15-18 minutes, depending on traffic. Pretty good for Houston.

Posted: 8/24/2005 7:59:39 AM EDT

[#25]

I walk 15 mins, each way.

30 mins/day * 5 days per week * 48 weeks/year (I have 4 weeks vacation) = 120 hours per year spent commuting.

$0 for gas, insurance and maintenance (well, maybe a new pair of shoes every so often).

Stress: $0, especially as I watch the long snake of traffic backed up on the Vine Street Expresway as I amble past.

15 minutes to job A or job B. Job C is about half an hour, but I only work there a few days a month part time and I usually go to that job from job A, so its not a full half hour.

Posted: 8/24/2005 8:05:17 AM EDT

124 miles round trip every day.

Posted: 8/24/2005 8:06:04 AM EDT

[#28]

38mi one way

40min in the morning and 1.5hr average going home

With your $100k salary you also receive 401k, retirement and many other benefits. I'd highly consider it. Maybe look for a commuter bus or something.

I have about a 15min commute to work, but some days I'll drive 100 miles during the day. I'm an estimator for an asphalt co. so I end up in every part of my metro area. I do get to use company gas, and our mechanic does maint on my truck, and I found out last week I'll be getting a company truck

so my vehical costs will be ZERO ZILCH NADA!!!!!!!

Posted: 8/24/2005 8:09:18 AM EDT

[#30]

My commute is 60 seconds by truck, 8 minutes by foot.

Posted: 8/24/2005 8:09:24 AM EDT

[#31]

10 mile (each way)
15 minutes (each way)
Company car (the only way)
Gas paid for by company (I can buy more ammo that way)

Mapquest says an hour and six one way, but they've been known to lie and it is construction season.

Posted: 8/24/2005 9:24:35 AM EDT

[#33]

Up until 2 weeks ago it was 15 minutes. Then I got transferred.

Now it's 35 minutes minimum, and was 50 minutes once already. But I'm hoping to buy a new place in the next year so it would be probably 20 minutes and a lot less gas usage.

106 miles one way. Hour and a half there. Hour and 45 minutes home. I do get a per diem.

Posted: 8/24/2005 11:18:26 AM EDT

7 miles each way, through residential neighborhoods. North Arlington to Crystal City. About 15 minutes, depending on a couple of lights.

Posted: 8/24/2005 6:59:41 PM EDT

I live less than a mile from my work,takes a couple of minutes if I don't hurry!!!

If I'm lucky, 15 minutes for a 12 mile commute. Straight shot down I-95.

Posted: 8/24/2005 9:06:22 PM EDT

[#38]

3.6 miles to work - takes me about 6-7 minutes each way.

Posted: 8/24/2005 11:05:57 PM EDT

[#39]

I drive 30 miles to my pick up point in town and catch a company van from there for another 35 miles.
Less than ideal but it's worked for eighteen years.
