How long is your commute to work and back?

Can be longer if there’s an accident on the motorway, but it’s worth it to have a good job and live somewhere of my choosing. I also quite like the commuting time as it gives me some headspace to decompress before family time.

KrungThepMahaNK@reddit

2-minute walk

ThatPrettyPrincesss@reddit

about an hour each way

[-]

Jezbod@reddit

If I’m in the office, depends on the tractor count!

It’s a rural road from my market town to the market town I work in, usually about 10 minutes on a good day.

[-]

Acceptable-Creme-184@reddit

I work in a national role which requires travel to London 3 or 4 times a month (I live in Yorkshire). That takes 4ish hours, train from home to main station then to London and then the underground to hotel.

I usually play Football Manager or watch films on the train (if I have managed to get work stuff done) 😅.

Other than that I work from home.

I like my commute, with kids at home it's rare to get me time.

utterlyforked@reddit

3 hours each way.

I'm a TWAT

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

AloeJake@reddit

Out of curiosity what do you do and earn if you don't mind me asking? You're a better person than me I couldn't hack a 3 hour commute each way!

utterlyforked@reddit

VP Engineering for a large software company. I earn enough to make the commute worthwhile.

Familiar9709@reddit

10min cycle

xycm2012@reddit

25 minute cycle.

A 10 minute drive. Once I'm there, it's maybe 15 minutes walk to get from the car to my office.

[-]

Thalamic_Cub@reddit

Around 2hrs a day driving (45mins each way on paper but never manage it)

Its weirdly less exhausting than my previous commute of similar length by train.

[-]

Alert_Mine7067@reddit

I start work at 8 and finish at 4, my commute is 3 miles and I drive, for the morning

5 minutes if I leave at 07:45

10 minutes if I leave the house at 07:50

If I leave at any point at after 07:50 it's at least 20 - 25 minutes

Coming home if I leave at 4, I'm home in 15 minutes, if I finish at 5, then it's roughly half an hour.

[-]

yourefunny@reddit

20 to 30 mins depending if I am doing the school run as it's in the opposite direction to work. A bit of country roads, short section of high street and then dual carriageway way through nice scenery. Perfectly fine. Audio book or radio on and it zips past. 5-7 days a week.

[-]

missgraceangel@reddit

60 mile round trip half of that is m1 about 45-50 each way

garryblendenning@reddit

2 hours twice a week each way. 2 seconds 3 times per week.

Averages out about 48 mins per journey, per day. Less than I commuted pre covid

[-]

Immediate-Escalator@reddit

When I go to the office about 10-15 mins in the car or 20-25 mins by bike.

[-]

sugarrayrob@reddit

I've just switched from doing 3 days a week in the office, with a 4 hour round trip. To 1 day in the office with a ~50 minute round trip.

2.5 each way 🤦‍♂️😵‍💫

HumanCStand@reddit

Usually about an hour in the morning and 1:20-1:45 in the evening

[-]

gangus_chan@reddit

40 miles. Usually an hour each way but can take 2.5 in rush hour if there's an accident. Luckily I'm typically only on 2-3 days a week.

I actually don't mind it though. I have 2 kids at home and it's the only chance I get to listen to my own music, podcasts etc. Also if it's been a not great day I've had time to process it before I get home.

[-]

anonoaw@reddit

Depends on traffic. Anywhere between 1 hour and 1.5 hour each way. I only go in 2 days a week.

Normally I go via the gym on the way to work which makes it more bearable.

Driving i might add.

About an hour and a half each way. Car, ferry, bus (or other car), walk - then the same in reverse in the evening. I much prefer WFH days!

I used to have a job in London where I'd go to 3 days a week and it would take an hour each way by train.

Just started a new job last month. Now only have 2 days a week in office and only 15-20 minutes drive each way.

[-]

TRFKTA@reddit

When I’m working from my usual place of work: 0 minutes (WFH ftw).

When I have to go into the office (1 day a week): 35-40 mins each way.

[-]

professorgenkii@reddit

2 hours each way, 4 hours total to my secondment location.

50 mins to 1 hour each way, so up to 2 hours for my usual office location.

I can put up with the commute for the career advancement and I only need to be there 1-2 days a week so it’s not too bad.

[-]

MonkeyBoy697@reddit

15mins each way right now as it’s warming up and the weather is better and that’s walking, in the Autumn & Winter when the weather is shit it takes 30mins each way and that’s driving due to the traffic being fucking appalling

Technically I can drive to and from work in 20mins each way but it actually means instead of driving 1.5 miles each way, I drive 5 miles on a scenic route to avoid the traffic so it’s a toss up between getting there 10mins slower but less miles on the car, less petrol used, or taking a route that is 10mins faster, uses more petrol and is an extra 7 miles per day

[-]

sihasihasi@reddit

One day a week. 1hr in (early in the morning) 1 ½hr home.

Fifteen min walk, about 30-35 on bus and then 30 minutes walk on the other side. Total 1 hour 20 ish minutes but due to buses frequency, I leave two hours early. Would probably take me about 40-45 if I drove but I don’t.

About 35 minutes in total one way which isn't bad considering that's 2*10 min walks and a 15 minute train (plus I'm a slow walker so it would take others less!)

6 minute drive. Should really walk

[-]

129sapphires@reddit

My in-office days are 3 x a week. One way is 1 hour and 15-25 minutes. Therefore in-office commute time in a day is up to 3 hours. Therefore 9 hours a week. Absolutely exhausted when the 3 days in-office are done!

With traffic? 15-20 if I get on the dual carriageway before I realise, 10 mins if I don’t and go the detour

[-]

K1mTy3@reddit

Typically 35-40 minutes in the car, getting to the park & ride.

Then either a 25 minute walk from car to locker, or hop on the bus if it's there for a 5 minute ride to the other side of the hospital - and a 7 minute walk through the hospital. (I refuse to wait for the bus any more, last time I waited 25 minutes for a bus that was supposed to run every 10 minutes!)

I always walk back to the car, it gives me space to clear my head after a day in the lab.

10 minute cycle to train station. 25 minute train into town. Then I walk/continue cycling (folding bike) or get the tube. I rarely work at the same place for more than 3 days.

[-]

RonSwaffle@reddit

About 45 minutes.

~10 minute walk to the metro station (Tyne and Wear) near home, ~25 mins on the metro, then another ~10 mins walk on the other side.

I don’t mind it, personally, though I can work from home when possible so rarely do it 5 days a week. The metro journey is usually my email/admin time, which I appreciate.

[-]

Conscious-Ball8373@reddit

It depends. If I work in the lounge then it's about fifteen yards. If I work in the study, it's more like 20.

If I have to go to the office, which very very occasionally I do, it's about twelve minutes on a bus.

I haven't had a salary raise for a long, long time. I think they know I'm not going to give this up in a hurry.

badger906@reddit

Hour and 20 minutes each way. If people stopped taking their fat lazy children to school by car (there’s 4 large villages and one big secondary school with amazing bus services) and made them walk/cycle/bus, it’s about 30-40 mins. Rest is just traffic. One lay-by that blocks the road as parents try and do a U turn. It grind the town to a halt in all directions. Summer holidays are lovely.

It’s actually faster for me to cycle the 17 miles than it is to drive.

[-]

LoudComplex0692@reddit

You think the children should have to walk or cycle but you don’t? You’re not in traffic, you are traffic.

[-]

nancy-p@reddit

but if the traffic disappears in the summer holidays then the traffic is clearly primarily school journeys

do you actually think a 40 minute drive to work is the same as a 15 minute walk to school?

[-]

badger906@reddit

The villages are 1 and 2 miles away from the school. Yeah why shouldn’t they walk or get the FREE bus? I do cycle 17 miles each way quite frequently. But unsure about you, but cycling 170 miles a week to work and then spending 45 hours on your feet a week, isn’t exactly in the scope of most folk!

Then it's a 12 hour shift in-between.

Lesson here? Stay in school and study like fuck

[-]

rosemaryorchard@reddit

About an hour and 10 each way, but it's once every 3 weeks and I usually use it as an excuse to stop by somewhere like IKEA/a giant Tesco on the way home which makes the trip a bit longer but means I don't have to go out of my way for that on another day.

40 minutes each way when I have the car, 1h to 1h30 when I don't. All of this to do the exact same thing as when I WFH (staring at a computer and not speaking to barely anyone)...

I only have to go in once a fortnight but, 1.5hrs each way with normal traffic build ups

[-]

lavayuki@reddit

15 minutes by car. I live pretty near my workplace and its the opposite way of traffic

[-]

dabassmonsta@reddit

There and back? 14 minutes.

[-]

Chidoribraindev@reddit

35 mins there, 50 back (timing the return train is impossible I find)

omg_daisy@reddit

40-50 minutes travelling from north London to central London, it used to be quicker but now I have to take my son to nursery on the way so I have to use a station with step free access and use lifts etc

[-]

CommissionFair1999@reddit

I have to drop my kid at nursery on the way, which adds some time, so typically 10-12 minutes.

[-]

ClericalRogue@reddit

15 minutes drive without traffic. 40 minutes at rush hour. To walk, about an hour.

[-]

TheeMetrologist@reddit

3 minutes by car, 15-20 on foot.

[-]

questionskiddo@reddit

1hr 10 in the morning and 1hr 30 in the evening. So basically almost three hours every day lol.

[-]

LoudCar7846@reddit

Door to door 1 hour 15 min (choice of bus, or bus and tram), one side of London to another.

[-]

merkus87@reddit

60-90 mins depending on traffic. 17 mins to get back.

[-]

MissJustine@reddit

I have recently moved right next to the office. Four minute walk max, that's if the street is busy to cross. Life changing if you can afford it...

[-]

Internal_Lion_1836@reddit

1hr, 30miles one way down the m4

[-]

Who_Knows_M3@reddit

15 min no traffic to 45 min bad traffic

[-]

YouSayWotNow@reddit

My previous job was 1 hr 20 each way on a good day but often a lot longer. It involved both the Tube and then a train and one or both were so often delayed.

Now my job is maybe 30-45 minutes drive (depending on time) but I can work from home a few days a week.

[-]

duvagin@reddit

15 to 20 minute walk each way

[-]

GainsAndPastries@reddit

20 minutes driving there and 20 minutes driving back.

I basically have a hard cap of 30 minutes, any further out than that then i wont take the job, not worth the fuel, sitting in traffic etc.

[-]

Funky-Melon@reddit

Roughly ~1.5h drive each way so around 3h. Used to do it 3 days a week but I'm only onsite 1 day a week now.

[-]

EvilTaffyapple@reddit

It’s 40 minutes door-to-door, which includes me stopping off to grab a coffee on my way in.

[-]

thorn312@reddit

I work from home now but in other jobs it's varied between an hour and a half each way, 45 mins to 15.

[-]

kellymacc@reddit

Down the stairs.

[-]

tiny-brit@reddit

I go to the office once a week - 2 minute walk, 20 minute bus, 10 minute walk.

I used to live further away AND go to the office every day, involving a 10 minute bus, 30 minute train, 15 minute walk, not including waiting times. Could never do that again.

Fancy-Knowledge683@reddit

When I used to commute into Bristol city centre, I typically used to leave the house at 6:30am and arrive in the office at slightly before 8am (25-minute train into the city centre with a 30-minute drive to the station on a good run, and I like to leave plenty of time to allow for the sometimes terrible rush hour traffic from my location so often wait at the station for a while), so I would hazard a guess at around 1.5 hours each way.

I’m soon going to be starting another job in Bristol that is a bit further to walk from Temple Meads, so the commute there will be perhaps closer to 1h 45m-2 hours each way all in.

I attended the office 2 days a week in my old job. My new job advertises a 3-day requirement, but my team are apparently “flexible“ on this, so I don’t know whether I’ll necessarily end up doing it in practice. I quite liked attending the office, but I got up at 5:15am to do so, so I think I would have been exhausted doing it every day!

djwillis1121@reddit

20-25 minutes each way

[-]

Budget-Economist-364@reddit

Anywhere between 25 mins and 1:45 depending on if the roads are cooked. I think if you had to average it out over a year it would be like 50 mins. It’s annoying because as the crow flies I’m only 10 mins away, but I have to cross a river with a shockingly small amount of bridges across it, then an extremely busy motorway junction

[-]

macjihad@reddit

15 minute walk

[-]

CosyColouringBooks@reddit

20 minute walk or 5 minutes if I drive

[-]

OddPerspective9833@reddit

About 25 min each way

[-]

better-out-there@reddit

When I first joined the company, they advertised a fully-remote position, so I went for it. About a year or so later came the inevitable "Hybrid" enforcement. Turns out it took me just under 3 hours each way.

Fought it, so now it takes me about 10 seconds from the lounge to the office-room.

[-]

Fit_Afternoon4604@reddit

40-45 mins (ish) but I work 8-4 to avoid the worst of the traffic

[-]

ThrillingFig@reddit

About 2 hours 40. I get two buses and have a 15 minute walk.

[-]

Ynoxz@reddit

If I get a bus to the train station then about 70 minutes. If I walk, 90.

Not ideal but I’m used to it now and only go in a couple of days a week.
