    If you have one, to work/college/university/school, and how much do you hate it?

    I work Sundays through Wednesdays. There's never any traffic on Sundays, so it takes about 10 to 13 minutes to get to work and back on Sundays. Mondays through Wednesdays...about 15 to 20 minutes, sometimes 25. I have to deal with school traffic (since I leave at 6:25-ish in the morning) and work traffic. Coming home is a little easier, but I still have to deal with work traffic at the end of the day.

    It's horrible, I wish I could telecommute to work.

    Mine is 20 minutes walk to the station, 10 minutes on the train, and five minutes to college. Not too bad really, but it has been known to irritate me.

    15 minutes walk each way to and from work. From living 12 miles out of the city centre back in Perth and working there to living practically a stone's throw from the city centre here in Glasgow is something I'm still getting used to!

    12 km (7,5 mi) to school, or around 40 minutes, if I cycle, a tad below two kilometres (roughly a mile) to the train station. I leave home really early though so I usually take a long walk before getting on the train.


    I like spending time on the road. I used to walk an hour and a half to (another)school at one point.

    2 hours each way. Which sounds terrible, but I am also taking classes online and use the commuter bus, so I am able to do school work during the commute.

    It takes me 45 minutes to drive to work in a morning. Becsuse the traffic is so heavy unless I set off at the crack of dawn. However coming home it usually takes half the time, around 20 minutes depending on which route I take. So overall not bad!

    I live on campus, so it's about a 10-minute walk to class. The last job I worked was about a 7-minute drive or an hour's bike ride.

    It typically takes me about 30 minutes, more or less, to get to college.

    For work, from my place, it takes like a couple of minutes as it's just down the street.

    The commute to school can be aggravating in the sense that the traffic is unpredictable. I've been late to class because of it a few times. Plus, people around here have HORRIBLE driving skills! Haha!

    About a five minute walk.

    I thoroughly enjoy it - especially when it's cold!

    Half an hour. I ride the bus and that's accounting for waiting for it and all the stops. It's only about 15 to drive by car.

    About 50 minutes going to work and 40 minutes returning home. It's a little on the long side but I don't mind it too much. It's almost all on the highway.

    I start my job in a couple of weeks, and will have a 15-20 minute commute. Walk-metro-walk. Shouldn't be too bad.

    My commute is about 20 minutes or so; it's often faster not to take the 405. Stupid L.A. traffic -_-

    About 45 minutes each way. It takes me 15-20 minutes just getting out of town though and that's what really grinds my gears.
