    Anywhere between 1 hr to 1.5 hrs depends on traffic. I take a bus to the subway station and then the train. It's a pain in the butt, but it's the easiest way to get into DC.

    4 kms, roughly a 40 min walk at a normal pace.

    It's actually not much faster using public transportation. I'm over in NY one day a week and it's faster to get there using public transport.

    Such is life when you're too cheap to get an apartment near work.

    Another DC commuter here. I never know where my actual work site will be, so I tend to drive versus take the metro. When I take the metro its nearly 2 hours. When I drive its anywhere from 1 to 2 hours.

    Used to be 20 - 30 min, depending on traffic or road construction.

    Now <10min
    Usually 8 min

    Until September 20th it's about 3 minutes to drive, 4 minutes if I hit the light and 15 minutes to walk (but I don't). I moved here to regain the minimum two hours a day I spent on the road for the seven years prior.

    After the 20th, it'll be about 10 minutes in the morning and anywhere from 20 to 30 on the way home. My only return routes put me smack dab into waiting-to-get-onto-the-bridge traffic during rush hour, but it's worth it to be living in my new gorgeous home! :)


    Edited for clarity

    :happy: 45 minutes each way! I don't mind unless I hit traffic. It's my time to have car dance parties

    too long to bike. Plus, I cover two sites - can't bike between them.

    Ok, so when I first started at East Carolina University, my commute was 5 minutes, MAX! Then, we moved and my commute became 1 hour and 25 minutes (each way, which was EXHAUSTING). I have since left that position, and my new position is only 35-45 minutes away from my house (depending on the time of year, and traffic). I think 20 minutes would be an optimal commute.

    It's just over an hour. I live in London, everything takes an hour to get to.

    I work from home most of the time now, but I spent years doing it every single day...
