How long is your daily commute?

[Anubis]

53 miles

38 minutes

all highway

zero traffic

Depends. I'm a consultant so some days I work from home, some days I drive 40 minutes to my office, some days I drive 75-90 minutes to a client's office.

However, since the client doesn't mind if I show up at 9am, the drive isn't so bad because I don't have to get up so early.

35-45 minutes in light to moderate L.A. traffic, as long as I go to and leave work 15 minutes early. After that 1hr+.

53 miles

38 minutes

all highway

zero traffic

Is this math right?

53 miles / 38 minutes = 1.3947 miles / minute

1.3947 miles/minute * 60 minutes (1 hour) = 83.6842 miles per hour?

 

[Kirby]

5 minutes to school, 20-25 minutes to home

 

[soulcougher73]

About 20 mins each way.

 

[olds]

About 25 minutes in the truck and about 20 on the motorcycle.

 

[Rage187]

30 minutes in the morning
90 minutes going home as I have to pick up the kid.

that's how fast you drive if you're competent and not a pussy.

 

[rivan]

About 8 miles, takes ~ 20 minutes. So many stop signs.

 

[SpunkyJones]

Takes just over an hour each way.

 

[rivan]

Or live somewhere with heavily enforced speed limits.

 

[biostud]

5 min bike + 35 min bus each way.

Not another "how long is your commute?" thread.

 

[Crusty]

30s

 

[velillen]

10-15 minutes if no traffic. If traffic then ~30 minutes. if i drive that is. i could also take a ferry ride and walk which takes a bit longer but is more relaxing too

yea thats about right

been doing it for 5 years

# of speeding tickets = 0

i did mention there was zero traffic. i counted today i passed 7 cars on my way in

 

[jupiter57]

<2 Minutes.
It's ~30 yds. to the barn from my door.

 

[airdata]

i'm only a couple miles away. with no traffic it's only a few minutes. Daily traffic is around 10 minutes or 15 in the afternoon.

I get the luxury of days like today when I wake up 15 minutes before i should be at work, throw clothes on, splash some water on my face and brush the ol teeth and make it to work just 4 minutes late

 

[Elganja]

4.7miles away... i get highly irritated when it takes me more then 15min

It used to be around 25miles and 1hr commute until I moved closer to work. Best thing I have ever done for my sanity

 

[kranky]

Typically 25 minutes. Today was an awesome juxtapositioning of everything going right, and it took 19 minutes (a personal best). There are 10 traffic lights on my route (3 long ones and 7 short), and today I only had to stop at 1 of the long ones and 2 of the short ones. All the rest were green.

 

[Rhoxed]

10-15 minutes on bike

 

[SZLiao214]

My commute is 26 miles. It takes 31 minutes normally and an hour when there is traffic.

Got to like when that happens. I have 2 reds to go through, there is one very long one and I hit it every single time, its so anoying. Well I've caught it yellow a few times and said F it and went through. :awe: Waiting for the red is long enough, waiting for the yellow then the entire red = holy crap. It's like a 5 minute light and is pointless because there's no traffic on the perpendicular road.

 

[Specop 007]

Half hour or so. Theres never traffic. Theres not enough people out here to have traffic. I actually did a photo essay of my commute and posted it some time back. Its about 6 miles of gravel roads and the rest is highway. No stop lights, 2 stop signs.

ETA:

Found it, for anyone who gives a damn.
