5 minute bus or 30ish minute walk
only problem is avoiding the dense fuckwit cyclists who can't follow rules

45 min busride in london, but the bus is always packed and blows. but i'm also too fucking lazy to walk 5 miles each way.

Car, 60 miles a day in total. Takes about an hour each way.
I add 5 miles to my journey just so I don't sit in gridlock. Costs me about £40-50 p/w in fuel and I fucking hate it.

Vespa normally. 13 miles each way, takes about 40 minutes door to door. Parkings free. Costs about £6 a week in petrol.
ScotRail when it's icey or snowing, takes about 45 minutes, costs £7 a day and is never on time.

15 mins by car, from rural town (home) to city (office). The trip is short, but back to home helps to disconnect from work related things and meet wife and kids with fresh mind...

Slow drivers who sit there not moving, like retards, while the light is green. Wake up matey.

Up at 6:30am out by 7, 10min car journey, 8min train journey, 35min walk. It could be worse I suppose but walking 3miles a day is a bit frustrating.

my commute now is somewhat different to london where my problem was not getting squashed by buses.
In shanghai a bad commute to work can include, walking out the front door having an old lady banging a fish on the steps, A man losing grip of a headless chicken and i getting blood squirted right into my path narrowly missing me. people spitting. massive arguments. and the biggest danger... some cold green tea leaves being thrown out of a high rise. all within 150 meters to the office.
not good with a hangover.

I drive to work, around 45 mins each way, on a road which seems to attract the worst drivers in the world. I've been doing this nearly every day for 9 years and it's a miracle I've never had anyone crash into me.

on my train there's this crazy, homeless, white-haired old black guy that comes on who starts by yelling for donations and ends with removing his glass eyes and waving them around

I take the train 35min to get to work. After 2 years of doing this you recognize the usual suspects. One particular guy, 40, red hair styled like james dean, occasionally tries to make conversation, but with my book and headphones as back up, it never lasts long. Recently we hopped of at the same stop and an interrupted window of opportunity which went something like this... 'hey, how are you going? so i've noticed you haven't been wearing your short skirts lately'. WTF! Creep!

should be a nice 2.5 mile, 35 min trip, walking and the 48 bus... depending on SF Muni BLOWS though.

I have a similarly mind-numbing bedroom to home office commute as utopian. Although there can be a pool detour as it's so bloody hot right now.

I have to get onto 2 outer-belts, 2 Interstates, and 1 US Highway (pretty much every freeway in the city) to get to and from work.
It can take as little as 35 minutes to as much as 2.5 hours.

16 miles each way on a bicycle because I'm trying to prove that I don't have to rely on a car. Although it is apparent you don't need a car to get to work, on the later nights (past 10) it would be awesome if my legs weren't the only thing getting me home. I'm finishing another motorcycle next week, I'll be riding that asap... The year of biking is over.

I drive 50 miles to school every day that I go, I'm there for almost 12 hours, then I have to drive 50 miles back. Through mountains too so it's really slow at parts. When there's fresh snow or ice it can take up to four hours to get there, but normally it's just an hour to an hour and a half.
- Also the morning sun when I leave is blinding, sometimes I have to put on my warning lights and do 5-10mph...ismith
