I’m assuming that most of you are from the US so probably using cars, but lemme know if you use trains, subways, buses, etc.
Me? Back when I was doing an internship I walked to a nearby station for 10 minutes then transited to another train line, which could be an instant or 20 minutes wait. After that I walked for 10 minutes to my work place. So it was probably about 40 minutes of commute. Of course, I live in tropical country so I’m drenched in sweat as I arrive in the office.
Fortunately every year my city’s public transportation seems to get better and as a result I barely needed to use cars.
Hop on my bike and ride east into town. Most of the first two miles is along a stretch where the rightmost full lane is reserved for busses and bicycles; I don’t even touch the handlebars. Then tsca short stretch on a regular bike lane and over the river into downtown, where I ride in actual traffic for another mile. All told it’s 4.2 miles and takes between 25-40 minutes, depending on traffic, weather, and whether I stop to dick around on my phone in the way.
