How long is your commute?

it's downstairs (where I'm sitting now). It's been this way for some odd years now, it's been so long I've actually lost count. 🙁 Yes, 🙁 ... one is the loneliest number.
 
My commute is usually between 45-60 minutes. I hate the commute, but I like everything else about where I live and where I work.
Fortunatly, I will be telecommuting 1 day per week in the coming month ... so it'll save me quite a bit of road time ... (may get 2 days per week down the road) ....
 
About 12 minutes. I don't mind as much as thirty, but I can't understand how someone in their right mind would accept a longer commute than that, unless they had kids and the closest decent school was more than 30 minutes from their workplace -- or they were living at home for free themselves.
 
1.6 miles, 3 minutes from my house to my desk. My wife stays at home with our 4 month old, but she used to drive about 8 miles - 15 minutes.
 
While in the Navy in CA: 10 minutes when I lived on base, and 15 when I lived off base.

My first civilian job in OR: 6 minutes.
2nd civilian job in OR: 10 minutes. 12 with traffic.

Back home at school: 30-45 minutes depending on the weather. I hate it. People in Virginia make a conscious effort to drive worse when there's rain.

Any longer and I start using the bus. Yes, gas is cheap now, but I'd just as soon not risk my vehicle with these idiots.

I cant imagine folks who spend an hour or more every day in their car. They must be miserable by the time they hit work. An hour on the train/metro doesnt thrill me either.
 
15 miles = 45 minute commute.

Twice that if it is raining.

If there is an accident on the 405, I just sleep at work 😉

25 min... if the wait at the vehicle search train isn't to long, if I get to work even ten minutes later the line takes an extra 15 min. Then after the .5 mile walk from the lot I park in the bomb sniffer, metal detector and the x-ray of anything you are carrying . All factored in I have to leave the house 1 hour before I start at 6am, If they didn't pay so well it would be suck.
 
My commute to work is 2.7 miles. It takes me anywhere from 5-8 minutes in traffic thanks to lights and a 35mph speed limit.

My commute to my wife is currently 208 miles. 🙁 It takes me approximately 3.5-4 hours depending on traffic in my city and through construction in another city 100 miles away that I have to go through. I can't wait for that commute to be non-existant. (she's in med school doing surgery rotations)

i read that as your wife's commute is 200 miles. I was like wtf does she leave at 1am? I feel for her, surgery rotation sucks.
 
For most of my working career, my daily commute was over an hour one way...and much of that was 2 hours+ one way.

Nowadays, with school only about 4 miles away...10 minutes tops each way.
