Re: How long is your commute to work ?
my commute is just over 15 mins in each direction.
If they replaced a few of the numerous stop lights on the route with roundabouts it would be considerably less.

Re: How long is your commute to work ?
Well I worked from home for 7 years, and now I don't work. I think I drive more now than I did when I was working, on a daily average.
In Wellington where we're planning to live, we'll be about 10 mins away by public transport (bus). Yay!
No way am I going to drive in and pay for parking.

Re: How long is your commute to work ?
Sorry to hear that, mate. When I lived in Strongsville, my I-71 commute was about 20-25 minutes, and delays were rare. I'm now in Cleveland Heights, and drive across town via Carnegie. About 30 minutes each way, but accidents are common. I don't know what I'm going to do when they start rebuilding the Inner Belt bridges.
I liked working in Elyria so much better, it was the easiest drive I've had!

Anywhere from 0 minutes to about an hour each way, depending on my schedule.

Re: How long is your commute to work ?
It took me 3 weeks to discover that gem. Sepulveda or Sawtelle, both are good shortcuts for me.
I dont go as far as the 101. I live near the 405 and 10 and commute from the long beach area.
I always leave the 405 at the 90 and take Sepulveda or Sawtelle all the way home.

I Walk to work (2 minutes walk). I moved into the apartment complex close to work so i could get out of bed and shower at 8:30am and be working by 9am!.
Why would anyone want to travel 2 hours a day amazes me. I'd need to be earning $150k+ to even consider a long commute.

Re: How long is your commute to work ?
Most days it 's like this:
0400: up
0430: out
0530: Arrive at my Dad's, I ride with him the rest of the way in (30 miles)as we work in the same place. 55 miles from home to my Dad's. Saves 60 miles a day in gas and wear and tear, nice.
0600-0615: Arrive at work
If Dad's off for some reason I drive all the way. It takes less time that way without the stopping and switching of vehicles but that 30 miles closest to work is the big traffic, suburban highway sprawl BS that takes it right outta ya energy wise.

Re: How long is your commute to work ?
I love where I live. I wouldn't be very happy living close to where I currently work and there's not many jobs where I live. And really look what kind of travel times people have listed here. People who are in teh car nearly as long as I am, but live only 30 miles from work!
