How far do you drive to work?

[Ellybelly909]

I walk to work, and feel very blessed to do so. Yet, I work with a lady that drives three hours round trip!

What about you?

 

[evanrick]

3 miles, however some nights i drop off co-workers.

 

[blackbeltninja]

15km (or just under 10 miles, for you filthy foreigners). Depending on traffic and the time of day I leave, it can take up to 50 minutes. 25 minutes is a good day, far as I'm concerned.

Depends on how you look at it..My tuesday through friday job,I drive about 15 minutes and I'm at the yard.Then I hop in a semi truck and teach rookie drivers how to drive them..

My weekend job is a cab driver.It's less than a 10 minute drive from my house to the garage.From there I usually drive about 175-200 miles a night shuttling all kinds of people around the city before I call it a wrap between 3 and 5 am..

I don't drive, I take the bus and it takes roughly 3 1/2 hours to get to my college. (Not talking about work)

Kittehs!

1.5hr round trip here.

55km each way, bad traffic if I have to come home after a morning shift, afternoon shifts are usually a pretty calm drive. Owned my car from new for 2 years now, put 44 000km on the odometer (and for 9 months roughly I have had a company car for daily use). I enjoy driving and taking road trips too, so that doesn't help.

Saying that though, I love to practice the sensible art of hypermiling, car detailing and modification (sounds to be contradictory) though my car is usually 100% spotless, always cared for and protected and averages 5.6L/100km (42 US MPG).

15 minute cycle. I think it's about 5kms/3miles.

I'm sure all and sundry found the preceding factoid utterly fascinating.

 

[gaystorm]

25 miles each way.

 

[Georgiadude]

36.4 miles each way. I hate it but I was unemployed for 18 months and was very excited to get the job. I live only 20 minutes from my kids so I dont want to move to be closer to work. Once I'm done with school I'll find a job closer to where I live and save myself almost 2 hours a day of driving. Only a few more months of this.

It's only about a mile away, so I usually walk.

I'll drive if I need to go somewhere straight from work, or if I'm planning to meet someone for lunch or something.

I don't drive, I take the bus and it takes roughly 3 1/2 hours to get to my college. (Not talking about work)

Holy fuck!

I would lose my shit if I had to drive the long commutes that some of you endure. How do you do it?

(Eight minutes down an avenue crowded with trees.)

 

[ThatRandomGuy]

It's about 15 minutes for me to get to work, so not too far. A lot better than the hour drive I used to drive to get to school.

 

[talbot57]

About 6 miles, and usually takes 45 mins. Thankfully I hope to be working from home during the Olympics.

 

[justsimon]

I walk a mile each way.
