TGIF poll...for commuters--how many miles do you drive.

[Longgrain]

I have to commute to work each day, 30 miles each way, on one of the worst highways in Massachusetts and it sucks! Especially this morning after waking up to five inches of snow on the ground.
Not to mention that's it's still dark when I get up this time of year...

Well at least it's the weekend...

So who else here has to make a long treacherous comute...

Note: Numbers indicate Round trip totals...

1. Oh round trip! I should have voted in the 50 mile range.

[Longgrain]

2. I know it was confusing for me to post it...

I said thirty in the message, but voted sixty myself...

[Richardo]

5. Better than my northern California commute: 60 miles each way

Tracy to Downtown SF. :scared:

[merh]

3. About 10 minutes from home!

Just one of the advantages to living in a small town. It's actually about 7 miles round trip. Since it is a residential area that I drive through, the speed limits are low.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

4. 6 miles round trip, or 0 if I work at home

[B Calm]

6. 14 miles round trip, with only one stop sign each way.

[CO Liberal]

7. 46 Miles Each Way

I've been commuting to Colorado Springs for seven years now. At least the trip has gotten shorter over the years. When I first started making the drive, we lived east of Pueblo and I worked on the north end of Colorado Springs - I could almost see into Falcon Stadium at the Air Force Academy from the window of the building where I worked. That commute (which I did for almost a year) was 63 miles each way.

8. I live 3 blocks from the office

But that one traffic light is a bitch! :D

(I can't walk–too many loose dogs in my neighborhood.)

[jackster]

9. me too Longgrain....!!

93S to 128S - Andover to Lexington

Several weeks ago out of 5 commuting days I had morning commutes of

1.5 hours
2 hours
3 hours
1.5 hours
1 hour (45 mins to 1 hr is typical)

I wanted to cry 3 out of 5 days!

[Longgrain]

10. I drive route 2 from the Fitchburg area

to the Littleton area, usually a half hour drive...this morning to took almost an hour...:mad:

[mike_c]

11. oops, should have said "other...."

My commute is about 8 miles each way but I only drive it once a week or so, on average. Other days I bicycle (good weather) or take the bus (bad weather).

[4_Legs_Good]

12. I have 55 miles each way, but...

It's easy, no traffic driving along the California Coast (1/2 of it), so it's really not that bad. Especially with some good radio or books on tape.

Oh, and my Honda Insight gets about 60 MPG

[McKenzie]

13. I'm lucky - I walk 300 metres

If possible, I'd never get a job that made me a slave to the car. Not many people can do that though.

[David__77]

14. 3 miles, 10 minutes!

I love it...

[hatredisnotavalue]

15. Work at home

As does my husband, the harder it snows, the more work we get done...I couldn't take those commutes. I feel for you pal...get a 4 wheel drive and a good cd player and learn a foreign language, that's what I did, I always looked at the commute as "my time".

[Nikia]

16. Approximately 4

I know that I should walk or bike, but I have to get there so early (before 6:30 a.m.) and I am often tired at the end of the day, not to mention potentially dangerous traffic.

[yellowdogintexas]

17. mine is about 15 one way, and on a reasonably decent

stretch of road, plus there is an alternative route that is also fairly convenient.

[SOteric]

18. I work weekends, and it's 170 miles or so round trip.

[ikojo]

19. What about those who get around on TWO wheels?

I ride my bike part of the way to work....take the bus and train the rest of the way

[Wapsie B]

20. 3 miles round trip

One advantage to living in the boondocks.

[DS1]

21. My commute is less than a block. And it skips LynneSin's rule

about not living close to where you work, because technically I work for the state of Massachusetts, and the state of Massachusetts is the lastiest state of work ;-)

[Patiod]

22. 20 minutes by train (walk to station)

God Bless public transportation, God curse those conservatives who want to bleed it to death (yes, you, you Pennsylvania Republican redneck hunting-obsessed fcukwits)
