    How long does it take you to get to work with/without traffic?

    I'm in contact with a guy that wants to interview me but google maps is showing 25.4mi away, which is about 30 minutes but that doesn't include traffic. So I'd be looking at like an hour drive which I'm not really psyched about.

    My current job is about 15 minutes.

    Right now, I'm 20 miles away but I take the train so it takes about 20 minutes. A couple jobs ago, I was commuting about 30 miles, which took anywhere from 30 minutes or 2 hours depending on traffic. That sucked. My last job was 4 miles away, now that rocked.

    15 miles, maximum speed of 40MPH. Generally takes me about 30 minutes during traffic time. And the best part is that it takes me through the richest neighborhood in Cincinnati so I get to watch the trophy wives jogging! :unibrow:

    10/15 minutes, unless there's snow then the time doubles to triples.

    I've driven to all 4 corners of the state in the past week in a half. I'm getting to know my way around pretty well.

    2 miles. It takes about 5 minutes most days. It's a good thing my car gets 60 MPG. =(

    I can ride my bike in about 10-15 but crossing two intersections can take ages there.

    That state doesn't even have corners. :p

    It takes me about 20-25 minutes for 15 miles. My old post was in Riverside, it was a 40-50(double if it was one of the many rush hours) minute drive 45 miles. That sucked.

    5 min to, 5 min from. follow a main street around the corner till it dead ends and make a right, in 9pm traffic. thats the only upside to my job.

    When I go into the office it's a 3-4 minute drive. One side of downtown to the other. Most days I work from home.

    2.3 miles for me. It takes me about 15 mins or more to get to work depending on traffic. I'd love to bike but crossing major intersections during rush hour is too dangerous for me.

    Depends. Sometimes it's 2 miles, sometimes 75 miles.

    ditto =)

    when i go to our actual office, 15mins, but usually i work at home or go to clients' offices. I rack up about 1k mi/mo on the car, drive anywhere from 5mins (closest client) to 1 hr (furthest) and usually hit 3-4 sites a day

    28 miles one way, 30 minutes. The speed limit is 70 but I do 65 because I get a lot better gas mileage (33mpg vs 29).
