    About 1 mile to pick up the bus. I?d like to walk it, but the highway at 6:30 in the morning is not a safe walk.
    I?ve been lucky. Never drove more than 12 miles to work in the 35 years at my job.
    I feel for folks who have long drives to work.

    I think the amount of time the commute takes is more relevant than the distance.

    25 miles one way. 30 minutes from my door to my desk.

    35 miles one way. with traffic it takes 1 hour, traffic jams on the way home have taken up to 2-1/2 hours, not unusual to stop at a store or two resulting in 4 hours before I get home. then there's these other twinks that live literally 5 minutes from work. I gotta move.

    Not even one step.

    These days, most of my 'work day' is around/in the house...on my schedule and take breaks as I desire.

    It's relaxing but doesn't pay work a chit!

    60 miles, one way. About 50 minutes, depending on traffic.

    I find the drive very relaxing. Easy start to the day. Up at 2:45am mon-Saturday. Drink coffee, do chores, take a shower, get in the old work rail and drive. Start work at 5:30am. Get off work at 4:30 pm. Nice relaxing drive home. Do chores. Work on the house. Take a shower, in bed around 10pm.

    I live out in the boonies. Can?t stand being in a city, but I make more than double, close to triple what I could make around home.

    Set the cruise, roll down windows, crank the radio, and relax my way home.

    8 miles against the grain of traffic so I have no issues
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    38 miles each way. I allow an hour and ten minutes to get to work, and it usually takes 50 minutes to get home. But, it is worth it to not live in the city.

    Why do you want to know, FBI????? Hmmmm.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    37 miles each way. Takes me spot on 45 minutes. This since July, 2015.

    When grandson born in 2012, wife started wanting to move closer to him. I held her off until 2015 until we found out we were having second grandchild. I finally relented and agreed to move. My drive went from 1 mile to the 37 miles.

    Do I regret it? Only during tax season when I may be at office until 11 to midnight and then have the drive. But the drive gives me a time to wind down instead of just going the one mile to my house and winding down in the recliner.

    15 miles in fall and winter, 45 miles in spring and summer.

    Prefer the drive in spring and summer. No freeways, lazy country roads; gets my head into work on the way in and out of work on the way home.
