Title: How far is your daily commute
Post by: smithjcsdfw on March 09, 2011, 12:58:52 pm
What I am curious about is how far is your daily commute and do you use any form of public transportation like bus or train?

4 days a week I commute 8 miles & 1 day a week I commute 20 miles, one way. I live in the country so there is no public transportation available.

I have been working at my current job for 4 1/2 years and I am not quite sure how many miles away I work.  My guess is that am 12 miles from Home and Work.

It's 17 steps from my bed to my computer chair and I don't use public transportation, just my own 2 feet.

My commute is 130 miles round trip three days a week.  I work at home the other 2.  What can you do?

Some days it is up to 150 miles one way, depending on location of job. In construction business, go where the work is!

Right now it is ten miles to work for my day job and ten miles home and twenty five miles to work for my night time job and a twenty five mile return. In April I have a delivery job as well that will have me driving 30 miles to work/30 miles back and about 200 miles in deliveries.

I work five days a week, and am lucky enough to only travel about 2 miles through town. There is public transportation, but it is quicker and easier to drive myself. Even on days when I have to carpool with my husband, it is a really good deal.

I would say about 35 feet.  It was about 8 miles round trip before I retired the last time.  The money isn't as good but I like this job better..lol   :wave: :wave:

My "main" job. Not far....from the bedroom to the living room.

My "side" job (and the one I do for fun). 10 miles maybe roundtrip. I live fairly close to the pool I coach at....I'm pretty sure that it's within 5 miles.

I drive 36 miles one way, 5 days a week, 45 minutes each way... afternoons are a little longer. Oh, I have to add I get 12 miles to the gallon in my dodge truck... O boy!! Yeah, that's about $25.00 to drive to and from work... just enough to ease your mind when gas prices are still climbing eh?

i drive about 11 miles to work then another back home.  it takes about 15 min or so for my drive because it is all highway miles.  but i log about 50 miles or more a day driving back and forth to "town" because my daughter has to go to school before the school but will get her there and she also works. one day i did almost 100 miles back and forth to town. not cool with the gas prices what they are. :BangHead:

To go to work its 10.5 miles there and 21 miles round trip.

I cant use the bus because they arent open when I have to go to work and since I live so far out they only go to my part of town like 4 times a day.

The only trains around here are for the farmers and such no passenger trains.
