How far do you travel to work?

I think you people will be envious of me! I have to walk down the road about 50 yards and I'm there! Unfortunately in the winter, since I'm so close, I'm always called upon to shovel snow!

Takes me about 45 minutes each way...ugh I hate it

I travel 1.1 miles. And it's the same whichever of 3 routes I can take to do it!

**Pam** · 10-14-2004, 06:43 AM

10 miles door to door.

It takes me 15 - 20 min. to get to work, both on a bus and on a bicycle.

Okay, this will make most of you feel better about your commute. Although mapquest says I live about 35 miles from my work, if I were to drive it I would EASILY be spending over an hour each way (probably closer to 2 because of the traffic). So instead I drive to the Metro station and take the subway to work. That still takes about 50 minutes to an hour each way...

I travel a little under 15 miles to work. It takes me about 20 min.

I used to travel 62 miles each way to work!!! UGH!!
I did it for almost 3 years!! That SUCKED!!! It would take me an hour and 10 min.

I work from home, so its a matter of hopping out of bed, and I'm there!

I used to work 60-some miles from home. I started at the company when I lived 1.1 mile away, but hten got married and moved 60 miles away. I LOVED the company and the people, so I stayed and drove the hour and half each way.... until the company was sold.

Evil new boss!

I work in two different offices. One is 17 miles away from my house. The other is about 40.

.79 miles. Sadly it is faster to walk to my job than it is to drive because of the trafic lights.

According to Mapquest, I'm 4.98 miles from work--I do have to park across the street from work though, so it's probably closer to 5

I can get from my driveway to my parking spot in exactly 10 minutes if I don't get behind any busses or slow drivers. Usually it's closer to 15 minutes though.

Oh, so many of you are lucky enough to live close to work. Some of us are not so lucky & have to drive quite a ways. I just thought about it one day on my way to work.....about how many people have to travel long distances. It stinks especially with gas prices the way they have been. It just went up to $2.03 a gallon here (Edgerton, WI). How about where you live???

Teenster3,in Pittsburgh it averages between $1.91 and $1.95 a gallon. Before my surgery, it was too tough to walk 50 yards so I drove.

I drive 9 miles to work, it takes about 15 minutes.
Justin works an hour away.

That is me too, and I generally don't even start my morning bath until 10 minutes before I begin work, although I do move fairly fast during those minutes. Sometimes I arrive in my office to answer the phone only partially dressed.
