How long is your commute?
 
Driving in today and seeing how less congested the roads were due to MLK day, my commute was much easier.

Which got me thinking, whats everyones commute like these days?

Me, 20 minutes in the morning, 25 minutes in the afternoon.

Whoever has the longest commute gets some free positive rep!

Reerun_KC 01-18-2010 01:16 PM

45-50 min from Guthrie to Norman one way...

Gonzo 01-18-2010 01:16 PM

6 hours, 45 minutes.

ChiTown 01-18-2010 01:19 PM

5 minutes.

rockymtnchief 01-18-2010 01:20 PM

14.5 miles. It usually takes me 15 minutes to get to work, all depending on the number of deer or cattle on the road. Usually, traffic is non-existent.

88TG88 01-18-2010 01:20 PM

On a really good day I can make it in 15 min. Usually, it takes me 45 min to drive about 10 miles.

Skip Towne 01-18-2010 01:21 PM

6 hours 47 minutes

sportsman1 01-18-2010 01:22 PM

4-11 minutes. Depending on where the newest construction project is.

SDChiefs 01-18-2010 01:22 PM

5 Mins. But I was doing 1-2 hrs depending on traffic.

Buck 01-18-2010 01:23 PM

Sometimes its 20 minutes (like on Holiday like today), but sometimes its 2.5 hours (when it rains).

Chief Henry 01-18-2010 01:23 PM

< 5 minutes :)

KC native 01-18-2010 01:24 PM

45 minutes on a light day 1 hour to hour and a half with wrecks and normal traffic conditions. If it rains an hour and a half to two hours (DFW drivers suck :cuss:)

DaFace 01-18-2010 01:31 PM

Somewhere around 30 minutes in the morning, 40 in the evening.

I work with a dude who commutes 2 hours one-way every day. He's insane.

Starbux37 01-18-2010 01:35 PM

16 miles and about 25 minutes long. If it's snowing, then it's about an hour plus because all the Californian's who moved here who haven't got a clue one how to drive in it.

ClevelandBronco 01-18-2010 01:35 PM

About 8 seconds. If it's snowing it's about 12 seconds. I like to pause at the window.

jiveturkey 01-18-2010 01:35 PM

47 seconds. I occasionally get stuck in traffic behind the cats on my way to the basement.

They're horrible drivers. They like to cut me off half way down the stairs. Middle fingers do absolutely nothing for them.

Frazod 01-18-2010 01:36 PM

About an hour and ten minutes each way.

5 minute drive to train station
5 minute walk to train
40 minute train ride to Union Station
20 minute walk/15 minute bus ride to office

It's actually not as bad as it sounds, since very little driving is involved. I put on my anti-idiot devices (otherwise known as headphones) and relax and enjoy the ride. And living 35 miles from Chicago instead of in Chicago makes it all worthwhile.

mlyonsd 01-18-2010 01:38 PM

45 miles, about 40 minutes one way including the 3 block walk from the parking lot to my desk.

Blindside58 01-18-2010 01:38 PM

31 miles one way, 62 round trip - Liberty Area to South KC. 30-35 minutes in the morning (driving like a bat out of hell) & 35-40 minutes in the evening.

wutamess 01-18-2010 01:46 PM

little more than a minute.

TrebMaxx 01-18-2010 01:48 PM

7-9 minutes, depends if that pesky light is red when I get to it.

tmax63 01-18-2010 01:52 PM

45 miles each way, about an hour and 5 minutes in the am and an hour 15 minutes in the evening in good weather. In bad weather, it has taken me 2 & 1/2 hours to get home if they don't close the road down before I get past the gates.

CoMoChief 01-18-2010 01:53 PM

5 min from my door to my desk at work.

Where in Donkeyland do you live? Denver?

stumppy 01-18-2010 01:56 PM

Many years ago I lived in Philly and worked in Hackensack, NJ. It was about 3 hrs each way. 90% of it on the Garden St Prkwy. Talk about living dangerously.

Rain Man 01-18-2010 02:36 PM

About 30 to 35 minutes if I walk, and as low as 19 if I run. But usually I'm carrying a backpack, so I seldom run.

Goldmember 01-18-2010 02:38 PM

15 seconds,

when I work from home,

otherwise 40 minutes

I get wet.


I have a bus pass, but it's a point of pride to not use it in bad weather. I'll use it if I'm running late, and used it when I had to stay off my knee, but otherwise neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor dark of night will keep me from my appointed commute. Hail might, but I haven't been in that situation yet.

I live in Thornton technically (north Denver metro). This guy commutes from Fort Collins every day.

RJ 01-18-2010 03:28 PM

9 minutes to get here, 7 minutes to get home. It's the left turn on the way in.

Sure-Oz 01-18-2010 03:28 PM

45 min in the morning about 35 at night

Gotcha.
And your in Colorado?

RockChalk 01-18-2010 03:35 PM

About 45 minutes. West Lawrence to Lenexa. Takes longer to get from my house in Lawrence to K10 than it does from K10 to Lenexa.

.48 miles. 10 minute walk, or < 1 minute drive.

Al Bundy 01-18-2010 03:55 PM

For now 15 to 20 minutes, but when I am back in Florida, it will be over an hour each way.

From work - about 8 minutes (one pesky left turn on arrow only light to deal with)

Yep. Weather's pretty tolerable most of the year, and hardly any rain. The rain is the bigger deal since I have to protect my backpack.

Yeah, I have only walked it a couple times so far, due to stupid excuses... Mostly weather related. I haven't added today's run or walk. EDIT : Just added today and Saturday. I am at 76.5 miles... 4 miles out of Mechanicsville.

I packed on some good miles this weekend. I'm still really slow from my layoff, but at least now I'm feeling good about my next run in February.

38yrsfan 01-18-2010 04:27 PM

25 minutes, includes dropping kids off at school. Not sure about the drive home, haven't gone straight home after work in years! :)

You don't want to know what's in the backpack.

"Bob" Dobbs 01-18-2010 05:01 PM

Back in the 90's I commuted daily from Joplin, MO to Fayetteville, AR. 84 miles each way, driveway to parking lot. Took about 1:40 each way. I'm glad those days are gone.

Heh... I never run, but for me it is about a 30 minute walk. I have a free bus ride, since I have a UF student ID, but the buses only run every 30 minutes. But, it's just about the same for me. If it is a beautiful day, I'ld rather walk than ride the bus, and I have to flag the bus to not stop for me. If it raining, I put on my badge and walk it all. Besides, once I get there I saddle under a desk for the rest of the day, so this is often my only real exercise for the day. But an hour of walking a day keeps the doctor at bay.

Earthling 01-18-2010 06:02 PM

For a couple of years it was 73 miles from my door to the work site. That coupled with night shift and average of 12 hour shifts made driving home a biatch. Ended up also renting a place there to save me the missing sleep time.

It's nice and efficient, too. If you can drive in 10 minutes or walk in 30 minutes, it's like you got 30 minutes of exercise with only 20 minutes out of your day.

I used to be able to walk to work. Was about 25 minutes. Was great.

Then my company grew to big and moved to a bigger location. now its 20 minutes in the morning, 25 in the afternoon. Miss that short commute/walk.

I assume living on that island is worth the bullshit you put up with. At least I hope it is.

58-4ever 01-18-2010 07:21 PM

38 minutes with NO traffic. 45-1/12 hours with traffic. 45 miles. Norman to Edmond.

Jack 01-18-2010 07:27 PM

About 57 seconds. . .depending if I preped the coffe maker the night before

BWillie 01-18-2010 07:28 PM

I used to work w/ a chick who commuted to Olathe from St Joe. I thought that was a little extreme. It takes me about 10 minutes to visually see my place of employment, and then another ten minutes to actually get there.

Easy 6 01-18-2010 07:32 PM

About 30-45 seconds, no sh*t... its awesome, closest i've ever been to my job.

Big snow last night? damn!... better give myself an extra minute or two.

MIAdragon 01-18-2010 07:47 PM

about 5 feet.

BigMeatballDave 01-18-2010 07:49 PM

42 miles round trip.

runnercyclist 01-18-2010 07:51 PM

Between 0-5 minutes depending on if I am working from home or going into the office which is 2 miles away.

Kyle DeLexus 01-18-2010 07:53 PM

12 hours there 12 hours back, don't get much work done, but I get to sleep on the commute since I hired a driver

MahiMike 01-18-2010 07:54 PM

2 1/2 hrs on Mondays. 5 min walk during the week.

Dayze 01-18-2010 07:59 PM

used to be 35 miles each way; and would take 45 minutes on a good day. average would be 55; and a bad day would be close to 75.


however since the move in Oct, I'm only 6 miles each way, and about 12 minutes. thank god. the previous commute was really taking its' toll.

chefsos 01-18-2010 08:01 PM

1st job: Pretty consistently 22 minutes to, around 25-28 minutes from. However, I don't take the same route home two days in a row.

2nd job: 15-20 minutes both ways.

munkey 01-18-2010 08:07 PM

8 hours 20 minutes every other week ;-)

I live in Idaho and Bend, Oregon every other week but commute to La Pine and Prinville from there too so...let me get my calculator ;-)

Pretty country so I really don't care...
