OMG, Highway 37/Sears Point road is a nightmare to drive through during rush hours. Passed by Petaluma and Novato just to visit Bodega Bay- Jan.25th and Point Reyes -Jan 27th. :\

Yeah, depending on the day/season, it's anywhere from bad to unbearable. Most people that I work with that live out where I do get in to work no later than 7 and typically leave by 3. On fridays, holiday weekends and race weekends (at sonoma raceway) we either leave at lunch or say fuck it and work from home. It's just a total disaster.
 
Roll out of bed and down the stairs. The biggest thing is getting the kids ready for school first. So monotonous. 🙁
 
10 minutes, if I got a job over at FIS, it would be around 2. Thier campus is almost across the street from where I live at.
 
2.5 miles, usually takes a little over 5 minutes to drive.

A road near me used to exit very close to work, but that's blocked off by a fenced rail line. If it wasn't blocked I could probably walk to work in 20 minutes.
 
~12 miles, 30-45 minutes depending on traffic (usually closer to 45).

We own our house and I like my job, so I just deal with it.
 
1.4 miles to daycare.
10.0 miles to my office.
7.0 miles to my wife's office.

Then in the reverse order on the way home.
 
I had one job that was walking distance from my house. I had a damned tough time getting to work on time...yet when I commuted 2 hours, I was ALWAYS at least 30 minutes early. Had another job that was 2 miles from home. I always seemed to get stuck waiting for a train that I'd miss if I just left 5 minutes earlier...😕
 
I can't vote in the poll anymore. Sad!

If I'm going to the real estate office it's a 4 minute walk. If I have to go to a freelance photo shoot it's anything from a 5 minute commute to a 25 minute commute. It tends to lean towards the former.

I love where I live.

My previous residence was 35 miles from work, and I was always 10-15 min early. Now I live less than 5 miles away and show up a few minutes late more than I want to admit.
 
Its only 15kms each way, i dunno what that is in american maybe 10-12 miles??? but it uses a bridge and if anything goes wrong anywhere near the bridge im fucked.

My shortest commute time one way is 12 min, my longest is around 3 hours.
 
Anywhere from 30-45 depending on traffic, and thats with me taking the commute bus. $3.25 each way as well. $6.50 each day just to take a fuckin' bus. Sometimes I question if it's cheaper to drive and park.

Good ol' government, they love raising the price due to gas costs, but they start to enjoy that extra cash when it goes back down.
 
10 miles or so. It takes me 15-30 minutes to get to work and 20-30 minutes to get home. A decent chunk of that time is waiting on traffic lights. I could get to work faster, but people in the Midwest are horrible, horrible drivers.
