Commutes

    My commute used to be 4 miles. They transferred us 48 miles away. So I moved.

    Now I'm 29.4 miles away. All freeways (albeit five different ones), so it usually takes about 45 minutes. I hate it.

    Mine's about 25-30 depending on the traffic. I miss the six-minute drive to my old job.

    I can walk to work in about 20 minutes. Driving takes about 4 minutes. Damned lights!

    10 minutes.

    First job I had was a 30-minute commute. Made it one day in 20. Tried to do it the same way the next day, got nabbed for going 20 MPH over the speed limit. Cop let me go with a warning (his shift was 10 minutes from ending).

    15-30 minutes, depending on traffic.
    I remember a study from a while back that said any commute of less than 10 minutes wasn't advisable, either, because that's a good buffer separating work from home. Rode my back to work at a previous stop, which was nice.

    18 minutes each way.

    And I sometimes miss the days when I interned and commuted 45 miles each way. Gave me time to turn up the tunes and unwind.

    Used to be 45 minutes each way to PNC Park, now it's 20, but lots of hills and stop lights.

    That used to tide me over while fighting the city traffic. Now nothing helps.

    Used to be 42 miles (90 minutes or longer going, 45 minutes coming back) on 5 freeways. Now, 7 miles (10-15 minutes). But the change resulted in a serious boost to my mortgage payment.

    I hate commutes and live a mile away from the office. I could walk to work if I had to. The longest commute I've ever had is 45 minutes.

    Takes Mrs. tbf about 35 minutes on a bunch of podunk backroads. Takes me about 20, depending on how backed up traffic at the gate is.
