How long does it take you to get home from work thread!

Jericho_abx · 03-23-2005, 04:53 PM

6 minutes if I hit all greenies, otherwise 10 minutes.

rdmpe · 03-23-2005, 05:10 PM

I'm 2.4 miles away, so about 5 or 6 minutes depending on traffic...

kswiss · 03-23-2005, 05:24 PM

I am 25 miles from work, all highway and opposite traffic, so its all good, takes about 28 minutes.

Griff · 03-23-2005, 05:25 PM

About 6-8 minutes if I catch the traffic lights right.

Gbud · 03-23-2005, 05:27 PM

Cross commute(sp?) here also... But it's 30 miles. 25 minutes in the morning 35 minutes on the way home.

{RGA}Road_Kill · 03-23-2005, 05:27 PM

I'm 10 miles away and it takes 20 to 30 mins depending on how slow traffic is.

***Ozzie*** · 03-23-2005, 05:29 PM

After years and years of commuting 45 minutes across town in rush hour each way...

...
I finally am only a few minutes away...3 miles...and have full use of a company vehicle to boot...

Good thing with gas prices the way they are - I reduced my full size pickup to recreation status with less than 6,000 miles/yr...

epicbard · 03-23-2005, 05:31 PM

both work and school = same distance = 30 mins

DCR · 03-23-2005, 05:54 PM

25-30 mins for me.

RockShocker · 03-23-2005, 06:22 PM

Oh my god you guys are so lucky. 100 km's one way and it takes about 1 1/2 hours each way, I really enjoy spending 3 hours a day on the road. Few more years until the kids are done school and I move closer to the city.

wow!

REVAN_abx · 03-23-2005, 06:50 PM

45 to 50 minutes if there are no problems. It's worth it to live in a rural area though.

zsaz1029 · 03-23-2005, 06:55 PM

15-20 minutes

KingTermite · 03-23-2005, 07:03 PM

I used to live about 30 miles (right through downtown and such) so that it took me a hour each way. Did that for about 5 years. Then last year moved ONE mile away from work so that commute was about 5 minutes. Now just moved again to a better place....further away, but not bad - about 20 minutes.

I used to work with a guy at my old job that lived 2 1/2 hours north from our Brooksville office where we worked. That was 5 hours of drive time per day. Then after some time, we both got transferred to the Tampa office (another hour south). Then he had 7 hours of drive time per 8 hour day. And as far as I know....he may still be doing that. I never could figure out why if the job was that important, he didn't move to the area. He lived in North Florida.

about 3 minutes unless I work at one of our other stores, then 20-30 min.
