how far do you commute to work everyday?

[markus037]

going for 2 job interviews next week, both jobs will require some decent commutes. i think one is 18 miles away from the apartment im moving into and the other is over 30. how many would you drive to go to work ?

[adrew]

7 miles each way - takes about 10 minutes.

I could probably do 30 miles each way if it was 60 MPH country roads with no traffic, but 30-40 miles in the city would be a no-go (like going from Fort Worth to Dallas). That takes close to an hour during common commute times.

I mean, I spend about 20 minutes in the car each day. It would take a lot for me to bump that up to two hours a day.

[Dawg Dee-Lux]

59miles each way, 4 days a week - hence the TDI. Takes me about 1hr 10min each way, have to get up at 5 in the morning.

[EternalSunshine]

75 miles each way for the last 12 years......

[cryption]

I drive 22 miles each way in Houston traffic. Take about an hour to 1.5 hours depending on how many wrecks.

[genjy]

Literally 1 mile.

I usually bike to work.

Sometimes if I leave home early enough, I just walk.

[2.0T_Convert]

40 miles each way. Only 4 days a week thou so not too bad.

[SVTDanny]

I used to do 50 miles one way. Then I went to 65-70. Then I moved, that was a bit too much for me to deal with. Spending 3-4 hours in a car everyday, mostly sitting in traffic, sucks. By the time I was getting home and eating, it was time to go to bed.

[Cooley]

100 miles each way. Only three days a week though.

[Taran]

13 miles each way, takes about 45 minutes each way

[deucestudios]

12mpg low carbon footprint.

[Heffernan]

6 miles each way.

[RABBIT170]

10 miles each way

My office is 35 miles away. Never any traffic to deal with. But I work on the road most days and my first stop could be 5 miles away or 150. I average well over 40k a year.

I took Urban Planning in college. One unique point we learned was that over the decades of city growth and changes in transportation, commute times never changed.

When people would walk to work, they would generally tolerate no more than a 40 minute walk. The same applies when train cars are divested are introduced and later the car. 40 minutes.

~30 feet...

x2 (4 days a week...the other day it's about 30 miles one way)

[TangoRed]

20 miles each way. Takes about 30 minutes since I'm going against traffic.

[phil123]

22 miles each way, takes about 25 minutes.

[AggvGtivr6]

40 miles each way. Only 4 days a week thou so not too bad.

thinking of applying for a job that's 40miles each way, but 5 days a week. Not sure if i want to deal with it

[x_GTI_x]

36 miles each way - 5 days a week.

[grounded87]

75 miles each way for the last 12 years......

75 miles each way for me as well. 5-days/week. Mostly interstate, can do it in just shy of an hour and 10 minutes each way.

mk4 TDI to get it done. Haven't been religious as of late with fuelly but have done enough to be reliable data:



Upside down on my mortgage. Will be hopefully able to afford to move maybe in 2-3 years. Have been commuting this far for ~6 years now. Solid job, good prospects... carry on.

[seadoo2006]

About 25 miles each way ... my girlfriend lives about 25 miles each way as well ...

I put a lot of miles on my car ...

[WakusPakus]

according to google maps:

15.7 miles one way. 20 mins - i leave @ 710 to be in for 730.

[Aonarch]

3.7 miles. But it takes 15 minutes.

[devianb]

3 miles? Takes me about 15-20 minutes though.

3 miles each way for me as well, takes me 15 minutes by bicycle. Sadly takes me nearly 10 minutes by car due to poorly timed traffic lights and of course traffic.

[seroki]

Job 1: ~3 miles, takes me <5 min to get to work. Job 2: 12 feet from my bed

Longest commute I ever had, 68 miles 1 way. Detroit Ugh... 55-60 min in the morning as long as I was on the road by 6am. And if I missed the 5 minute window at 315 pm after work it was a 3 hour commute home. You can bet your ass I was on the road daily at 315 on the dot.

[Pf3il]

1.5 miles / 3 subway stops.

[Aonarch]

3 miles each way for me as well, takes me 15 minutes by bicycle. Sadly takes me nearly 10 minutes by car due to poorly timed traffic lights and of course traffic.

At my old job it was twice as fast to ride my bike than to drive...

I wouldn't ride my bike though everyday now I would die by a bus or a car.

[VDoubleUVR6]

24 miles each way...mornings take 25-30 mins normally but afternoons 45 mins plus

[cougar]

13 miles each way.

[Shmi]

~6 miles each way.

[2.0_Mazda]

24 miles one way

[Delux]

12 to 200 miles (round way) a day depending on my schedule. i supervise 32 grocery stores in a 100mile north-south area. company pays for gas though

[Jason4]

25 miles each way on country roads with no traffic (usually). 11 of the 25 miles are on a really twisty coastal road. I never drive anymore though. One of my coworkers picks me up daily and I give him gas money.

[ThreadBomber]

20 miles each way, takes about 45 - 50 minutes, unless some jackass crashes (which ALWAYS happens ON the bridge) and then it's like 75 minutes+
