How long is your daily commute?

  • justincredible
    My current commute is about 8 minutes. Once we've completed our move in the next couple weeks my commute will jump to 20 minutes. My wife drives 35-40 minutes each way to work and absolutely hates it.

    I know BR and I92 have brutal commutes.

    I commute 8 miles on backroads, but with traffic in the morning it takes about 20 minutes. On the way home it only takes 14.

    Two hours, 15 minutes to two and a half hours, round trip. The actual mileage is a little over 50 miles, each way, but I have to drive through a few decent sized towns to get there.
  • SnotBubbles
    13 minutes.
  • Iliketurtles
    It's about 20-25 minutes each way currently.

    I work from home. Prior to January, it was about 14 minutes in the morning, and anywhere from 20-40 in the afternoon. Route 8 and the central interchange are miserable at 5 pm.

    Zero minutes when I work from home 2-3 times a week. It's about a 18 minute metro ride to my office if I am not working from home. The metro stop is right under my office building.

    Prior to that my commute was about 25 minutes to work in the morning (I get to work at 6AM), and on the way home it could range from 35-60+ minutes depending on traffic, construction, etc. This is with reverse commute leaving DC for work. It's much worse for people who commute into DC.

    13 steps down the basement. I can do it in about 4.28 seconds.

    I do have the option of working from home some days, which I'm doing today (car repairs/deer incident).
  • Heretic
    Under 5 minutes to the office. Which, many days, is 5 minutes too long. Depends on what people are in the building. Most are cool, but there is one insufferable bitch whose presence always makes me wish I was working from home.

    like 5 miles right now. Anywhere between 10-20 minutes. Will be 30 miles/40 minutes with the new job. Should only be a few months though until I move or a new office location is acquired. I commuted 30 miles/45mins to an hour for a year and a half so I don't think it will be bad considering it is mostly a reverse commute.

    Had a girl in my office commute 60 miles from freaking Ashtabula to downtown Cleveland everyday, sometimes 6 days a week with long days at the office mixed in....she didn't last long.

    I bet you can get that down to 1.39 seconds if you added a fire pole.

    25 in the mornings (2 AM), 40-45 in the afternoon. It's straight down 23 from Delaware to Worthington. I don't take 23 home because it's a nightmare in the afternoon.

    It's only 15 miles, but traffic at 1:30 in the afternoon makes it take forever.

    12 minutes each way, almost always the same. 118 is a pretty boring road.
  • GOONx19
    15 minutes there, 25 back driving. Soon to be 25 minutes both ways on the transit.

    Lucky you.

    I live just south of Rockville, MD and commute to my new gig in Chantilly, VA about 30 miles away.
    In the AM, it is 30 minutes as I leave about 6:30am.
    In the PM, leaving around 4-4:30, it can take me about 1.5 hours.

    XM radio and Podcasts have been my friends recently.

    I work at a few locations, 55-60 min each way to two separate production facilities door to door via subway. Once I'm acclimated I'll be able to work from remotely or from home.

    I definitely don't miss this.

    Yeah, the American Legion Bridge can burn in hell.

    I take either 23 or Sawmill Parkway to 315 everyday and it drives me insane some days. Commute in Columbus is a lot worse than the old west side of Cuyahoga County commute I had for the last couple of years IMHO.

    The northend is a cluster fuck. 270/23 is finally done, but 270/315 is just getting started. I take Old State home in the afternoons just to avoid 23.
  • CenterBHSFan
    It takes me approximately 25 minutes, with 10 of those minutes just getting to the highway since I don't live in town.

    I'm pretty sure they're on their 23843456th consecutive year of constant north side Columbus freeway construction. IT NEVER FUCKING ENDS!
  • salto
    About 15 miles one way.

    Yup. It's literally the worst thing ever.
