How far do you travel to work?

[jnl0612]

I current have a short walk to work but have been offered a higher paid job around 35 minutes drive away, just out of interest how far do you travel to work ?? I can't make up my mind if I want to take it.

37 miles drive each way, almost all motorway, takes about 45/50 mins at peak time. I don't mind the time, but the cost in petrol and the toll in car repairs is becoming a drain on household finances . I dream of a job that I can cycle to or or do a cheap bus ride to. If I was thinking of changing jobs, I would look closely at both commuting time and costs.

20 minute car journey for me.

Very lucky. About 7 minutes.

Also lucky, about 50km round trip, all highway, 15-20 mins each way.

12 mile drive. Anything from 25-45 minutes; but 30 minutes-ish is the norm.

Used to be 35 minutes door-to-desk when I worked in a different location and could use a train.

15 miles , round about half an hours drive..doable

About a mile and a half, but it takes me just over half an hour because I drop our ds's to school on the way (I need my car at work before anyone says I should walk!).

If I leave at the time I am supposed to, 10 minutes on the tube, 10 minute bus journey, 5 minute walk. If I leave as late as possible, 10 minutes on the tube, 25 minute bus journey, 5 minute walk. So 25-40 mins.

12 mins to the old site.
20 mins to the one I'm being shifted to.
540 miles on Tuesday ;(

About 1 hour 15 mins each way, including school run.

Cycle 40 mins. (Bus ride would be 50-60 mins).

Briefly had a job less than 10ms walk away, I loved the commute. Now 30ms or so commute each way and it's even better. I have time for the transition from Mummy Bumpop to worker bumpop. I travel by public transport, so get to read. Too long is of course tiring, but anything under an hour can be viewed as secret me time.

Just under two hours each way. Fifteen min drive, then ten min walk, then 15 min train, then wait 10 min to change to another train for 45 min then 15 min walk....on a good day when it all happens on time! I think you can used to a longer commute, just need a routine.

Around 45 minutes each way. Bit too long for my liking, but it's a new job and I'm working in a great office. Am hoping that within a year or so a vacancy will come up in the office in my local town.

Usually about 30 - 45 minutes drive to work depending on traffic.

1 mile away. 20 minutes walk or 4 minutes in the car if I'm lazy and the traffic lights are being my friend.

1.5 hours each way, every day

Out of rush hour, 16 minutes. During rush hour about half an hour. Factor in the school run (same direction, but have to find a parking space, park, walk DC into school, wait for gate to open at 8.30, walk back to car) about 50 minutes.

Mine have varied over the years, I've always driven, and have concluded that a reliable 45 mins is the most I would really like to do, but would go to an hour for a brilliant job.

My last job was 27 miles / 45 mins on winding, unlit country A roads (single carriageway), it was fine (in fact beautiful) during daylight but really draining at the end of a long day in winter. Now I drive 20 mins / 10 miles on dual carriageway, daylight only as it is a school hours job, it is easier but very boring.

Minimum 1.5 hours each way (sometime longer due to the vagaries of public transport - thanks TfL!), but I work at home 2 days a week.
