How far is your commute? (one way)

[Soulive]

There was an older thread about this, which I can't find. So how far do you travel, one way, to work?

 

[nealf]

I travel about 32.6 miles to work (one way). I live so far away b/c the rent is cheap ($675).

 

[Teddypower]

.8 miles. Its great because we are a one car family (Un-American, I know). I usually bike there but since I broke my collarbone 6 weeks ago I have been walking.

approximately 54 miles
but rent here is still less than closer to work by more than the cost of gas with my car so im ahead.....its not bad, and the time gives me the ability to catch up on podcasts of the week

My van is in my driveway! I walk outside in the am and I am officially at work. My GF works from home, so her commute is even shorter than mine. We fill up the gas tank on the car once a month, sometimes it'll go even longer.

4 miles/7 minutes without traffic. 10 with.

You work from your van in the driveway? What do you do?

 

[ChshreCat]

23.5 miles according to Google maps. On average, I drive it twice a week and then take a free bus to and from work the other 3 days.

14.3 miles to my weekend job and I drive that every time.

 

[Professor Frink]

3 miles, and the bus stop is right next to my condo.

 

[The Pol]

5 miles to the airport...

 

[BigKahuna]

9.4 mi if I take the dirt road, 14.7 if I take the Highway. 12.7 if I take the service Road.

 

[bradsul]

70KM but I only have to go in 2 days a week. The other three I work from my office at home.

 

[talleymonster]

My commute is 7 miles each way for a 14 mile round trip.

Via Bicycle.

 

[gplutt]

Well, I walk to my work van, then drive off to wherever(usually Issaquah, Snoqualmie, or North Bend), but I don't have to "commute" anywhere to get to work.

 

[HBHoss]

About 15 steps. I work from home. When I did commute, it was about 35 miles and took anywhere from 30 at 4:30 AM to 60 min depending on traffic.

 

[FireBrewer]

54 miles. But I only go in every 3 days.

 

[ChshreCat]

My wife has it easy. Home and work are about a 90 second walk apart for her.

 

[eschatz]

about 90 seconds

 

[Revvy]

65 miles one way *sigh*

But like Nealf said, my rent is cheaper. Plus I live by the water, and for the most part when I'm home I can walk to nearly everything including the lhbs...

 

[blacklab]

30 mind each way, but only because I refuse to live in the skank area that our facilities are in.

 

[McKBrew]

It's a mile if I walk from my front door. I am lazy, drive to work and park in the back lot, so it's more like a mile and a half. I could save money on gas, but since my truck usually only goes to and from work, a tank will last me a couple weeks.

 

[Orfy]

20 miles (30 minutes if I miss rush hour.)

 

[farmbrewernw]

31 miles one way. It sucks but it's the half way point for my SWMBO going south and me going north.

 

[Borisbbadd]

34 miles (1 way)
I't an easy commute, the freeway drops me off almost on top of my job.
In the winter it can get pretty ugly, with the wind and snow on I-80, but thats usually only a hand full of days each winter. (That's what I keep telling myself).

 

[kman6234]

It use to be 90 minutes each way from long island. (60 on train, then 30 on subway/foot). Then in August I bit the bullet and moved into the city. It's expensive but I gain 2 hours of free time each day, which is priceless.

 

[Saccharomyces]

Usually about 30 steps. Traffic can be a bear if the cats are playing on the stairs blocking my path. Occasionally there is a collision with the dog. Usually it's uneventful.

I go into the office when I need to use the fax machine or ship something. It's 12 miles one way. Since I work for a group of folks in California it makes no difference.

 

[adx]

Mine is about 10 miles and mostly highway so it takes me about 10-15 minutes to get there. I would bike to work, but if I did that I would have to take all the back roads and it turns into a 22 mile commute.

 

[jmulligan]

~30 miles one way to D.C., which, depending on traffic, can mean ~40 minutes on a great day or 60+ minutes during rush hour. Luckily, there is a train service 3 miles from my apartment, so I ride the train for 35 minutes and then walk about 15 minutes from Union Station in DC to my office.

 

[Beerrific]

10 miles
With stupid Atlanta traffic, who knows how long that can take. Usually takes 20-30 minutes. I could take public transportation but that would take 1+ hours.
