What's Your Daily Commute and How Far Has Your Longest Been ?

[jamesww]

What's your daily commute, what form does it tak and how far is your round trip ?

What's been your longest regular commute ?

Only consider the journey to your regular place of work, if you have to travel whilst on 'works time' please exclude this.


My current one is just a few 100s of yards. 

My longest one was a daily 65 mile round trip in a pickup truck*/whatever was to hand and done at some speed. 



* edit:
by pickup truck I mean something like this, rather than what you N.Americans mean by the term.

Right now, maybe three or four miles -- about ten minutes each way.  Longest was about ten or twelve miles, which took about 30-35 minutes in the morning & about 45-50 minutes coming home in the afternoon...

Right now I'm rocking out on the LRT.  The Park & Ride station is only 3 minutes away from my house, then a 20 minute train ride, then tunnels all the way to my building.

I tried driving to work one day, but it took twice as long as riding the train.   



My shortest commute was when I worked and lived in downtown Calgary.  I was probably about 8 blocks away.  Longest commute was when I lived at a cottage by a lake.  It was a 35 minute drive into town.

3 block walk to and from when I work.

Isn't this a rather novel experience for you, you know not having to fend off various large types of wildlife to get to work ?

[katmai]

mine changes by job.

Daily commute to work: about 2 minutes, including a stop to the fridge for a glass of juice in the morning.
Daily commute to school: about 1.5 hrs to go if it's an afternoon class, 2.5 if it's a morning class.

Now he's fending off bipeds instead of quadrupeds...

Indeed.  Very different riding the train with all the other cattle working downtown.

Current is a five minute walk.

Longest was a 50 mile drive.

I abhor lengthy commutes.  For now I spend about 30 minutes commuting from the door of my house to my office.  In my previous job, it was but a 15 minute walk each way.  *That* was ideal.

[Josquius]

Doing things in terms of miles is useless, 10 miles through the country is less than 1 through rush hour city traffic.

I haven't had that much of a big commute before, an hour on the bus maybe. Currently...depends what neighbourhood I'm in. 10 minutes-40 minutes walk.

[Grey Fox]

15km drive to work in traffic. Takes about 30mins.

It'll probably go up to a ~40km drive that will take 1h when I buy an house next year (maybe).

[MadImmortalMan]

44 mile drive from home to OSU main campus (parking lot between High St. and College Rd.), then walk across the campus to wherever my class happened to be. The latter could be three blocks or two miles.
