11 minutes by car.
22 minutes by bike (my usual form of transportation to work).
20 minutes walking to the BART station and then catching the train.

Last job before retiring was 25 minutes each way.

Two jobs prior to that were under a mile. Took longer to clear the windshield than to drive to work.

Longest ever was when I was stationed in Charleston, SC. Don't remember how far it was (I lived out in the swamps, Monck's Corner) but with me and about 5000 other people all trying to get on the Naval Base at the same time, it ws a bit of a challenge. I worked at the back of the base in the old hospital complex so it wasn't as bad as trying to get in the main gate with all the sandcrabs.

It was an hour then I moved closer. Now about 15 minutes. That extra hour and a half each day really makes a difference, and I can't imagine going back to a long commute.

Funny this poll came up.

Today is my first day at a new job.
After 16+ years with the same company and working from home for the last 10, I will be going into an office again.

40 minute drive; almost all of it at highway speeds.

2 previous jobs the commute was 25-35 minutes.
Currently my commute is 10-12 minutes.

Currently...? about 3 feet from my bedroom door to my office.

But if I'm traveling, it's a plane flight there, usually about a 10 min commute each way to the client site from the hotel, and then a flight home.

A "bad commute" for me is when I have to step over the dog, my office is down the hall from my bedroom.

OTOH, this means I am "at work" 24x7, plus I have to visit client sites on average three times a week, and this can be 30 min. to two hours each way (5-10 miles, and completely unpredictable at any time of the day or night in DC traffic). I try to specify "portal-to-portal" in my consulting contracts, but most clients won't accept this. Many days, I am in traffic more hours than I am billing.

My old commute was always during rush hour traffic. It usually took me an hour to get to work. Usually took me 30 min to get home. A couple times I got to make the trip when traffic was "good" & I made the same trip in 12 min. That's how bad the traffic was. I loved the job, but it was physically hard & mandatory 6 days a week.
Now my job takes me usually 12 min either way. I don't even get on any highways. It's a scenic commute. I really like this job as well, but I do miss my other "work" from time to time. Much less stress from the morning drive & fewer near-hit, close calls with other drivers.

18 mile drive, 25-30min typical, sometimes as long as 45min, have made it in 20min.

The kicker is that in a straight line from my house to work is about 7 miles.

About 60 seconds or so. Quick walk from one side of the house to the other.

Mine is short, around 20 mins, sometimes just walking down the stairs to my office in a minute will suffice.

70 miles each way, with no traffic it takes 1 1/2 hours....with traffic I think my record is 4 1/2 hours

Two hours, each way. Fortunately I only have to do it once or twice a week. Sometimes, it's no times a week.

7/10 of a mile to my place of business. I drive most of the time. Sometimes the dog lobbies for a walk in to work. Walk days make the pup pretty happy.

20 miles= 20 minutes door to door at 4am and 1 hour returning at the end of the day.

12 blocks. 3 minutes if the traffic is heavy.....

If I go to the office, it's 5 1/8th miles. I can work from home, so sometimes much shorter.

The longest drive to a client's location is about an hour.

I don't log a bunch of mile anymore

I live quite a ways from where I am currently stationed. My drive is about an hour in the morning (at 0500) and anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours in the evening (leaving between 1700 and 1800). I leave for Afghanistan in a few months and can't wait to stop driving 600 miles a week.

I've gotten to work in as little as 45 minutes, and as much as 3 hours when there was a major crash in one of the tunnels I go through.

Have gotten home in as little as an hour, and once, during a particularly light dusting of snow that paralyzed all the shitty drivers in our area, I left work at 5:30 and didn't get home until 11:00 PM.

minus the tunnels, this is my exact commute, except if there's even a dusting of snow I tell everyone coming in is optional. I don't have the patience to deal with shitty drivers.

Fifteen minutes to, and eighteen minutes fro. It's 9.9 miles one way.
