10 minute car journey or 30 minute cycle to work. 20 minute train (train station is literally right behind my house and goes straight into town, really handy ) plus 10-15 minute walk to uni.
You work on an oil rig or something? I used to walk 20 minutes to work, through north London. The job before that was 20 mins cycling through Oxford. And at the moment I walk 4 minutes to lectures at uni
35-40 mins down country lanes, 25-50 mins on the motorway. Sucks as I'm only getting about 25 mpg atm.
One minute for me. I work out of my house and have the whole basement. Used to have a shop but why have the overhead and extra bills. Can right off the phone, electric, gas, ect... plus I get to play with the grandkids when ever they show up. Love it
By car it takes me 40 minutes in the morning and in the evening it takes an hour at least to get home. I do all that commution on the boring A1 NI carrigeway. I love driving, tbut that road sickens me! Doing all that with only a tapedeck radio in the car is depressing to say the least. Thankfully I got a CD player put in on Friday. Roll on Monday Morning! No more, City beat (Radio 1 wannabes from Belfast), Cool fm, or Radio 1 repetitvness for me to listen to! YEEESSS!

10-15 mins if i leave before 8:40. After that then I am usually going to be late by about another 10-15 mins
My last job was 1:15 to 1:30 in each direction during rush hours. Add more time for adverse weather conditions and major collisions. At night, with less traffic, it would take about 35 minutes, I guess.
30-60minutes by bus, around 25-45minutes by car. when there's heavy traffic this can extend up to 2+hours... and to think that my school is only 12km from my house - go figure the average speed... Basically this is due to poor infrastructure in my city :/ @gar: if you don't mind me asking - what do you do for living? your trip to work sounds to say the least... interesting. Do you work on oil platform or something of this sort?
About 20 minutes by car, and no I wouldn't want to live closer because I like where I live a whole lot better than the area where work is.
about 7-10 minutes to work. depends if i get green lights in town and on highway or if there are morons in my way. to school its about 4 or 5 minutes and im in my class 1 minute before the bell. used to bike and it took like 8 - 12 minutes to school (dont bike to work) but i got annoyed by it as we have severe wind around here. ( almost get pushed over by the wind sometimes )
my last job, 4m30s. summer before that, 7min drive or 33min bike. and yes, my morning schedule is so tight that i have to measure the seconds.
about 10 minutes by bus, then another 10 to walk.... car? whats that... no thx, i rather spend my money on pc parts..
If I did the normal hours, (8:30AM till 5:00PM) each drive would take me 30-40 minutes. Luckily we have a flexible system and I start about 30 minutes early, so I get in around 7:50 - 8 AM and quite around 4:30 PM, each drive then takes me only 20-25 minutes. If I work over and stop much later (say 7PM) then it takes me even less. I only live 14km from my work, but I need to get across town. So when it takes me 30 minutes, I have an average speed of 28kmph, even though there is about 5km's of highway (120kmph) in it. These flexible hours are a god send! Never need to hurry, can start early ahead of trafficjams...can quit early if I need to get groceries or whatever.. can save up a few hours to give myself an afternoon off... lovely.
7 Minutes by car, 10 if the traffic's bad. I used to work in Hammersmith (on the Underground) and that used to take me an hour to drive across London at 10:30pm. Before that, It was Hengelo in Holland. 45 Min taxi, 2 hours waiting around, 1 hour flight, an hour waiting around, then 2.5 hours on the train (6h15m). Every Monday. (Then in reverse on Fridays) Portsmouth was fun, on a little 125 4-stroke with a top speed of 60. 4 hours. Glasgow/Campbeltoun was about 4 hours in all (with an extra 2 for campbeltoun) I'm really grateful for my 7 minute drive now.
