It's shorter if I go in during odd hours. I've never had a job where my commute was less than 20 minutes...even during the summers of college, I worked at a bakery that was 30 minutes away (no traffic, a pretty drive through rural countryside).</p> <p>DH is roughly 25 minutes, he takes all freeway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2480663 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 20:03:50 +0000 NavyRN2012 2480663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 minutes in no traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2480655 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 19:55:57 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2480655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH 15 mi (20-30min avg)<br /> Mine 50 mi (1hr 15 min-1hr 45 min avg) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2480608 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 19:18:44 +0000 Corduroy 2480608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 30-35 minutes at 7am, 40-60 min when I leave at 4:30</p> <p>DH: Only commutes 2x a week, 20 min each way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2480566 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 18:41:00 +0000 BSB 2480566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vanpool here for the win! When I drive by myself, it will take me about 60 minutes. </p> <p>If I'm not the driver of the vanpool, I drive 20 minutes to our pickup &amp; dropoff spot and hop in the back seat. After all the drop offs, I get to work about 45 minutes after getting in the van. </p> <p>I'll take 20 minutes of driving time over 60 minutes of driving. It's so nice. </p> <p>On the way home, it's about the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2480563 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 18:36:45 +0000 LilSprinkles 2480563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours are both around 20 minutes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479569 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:14:34 +0000 Finfan 2479569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 25 minutes<br /> DH: none </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479557 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:09:56 +0000 cat620 2479557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM, so no commute for me.

From home to work is 10 minutes. It's all very light traffic in the city, though...before we moved it was just as long, but mostly on the interstate (on which there was an accident at least once a month...) I was always tense by the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479474 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:27:44 +0000 Anagram 2479474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I commute about 50 min each way, but with daycare pick up and drop off, it's longer. I think it's about 26 miles.</p> <p>Dh commutes about 2 miles, but it's on public transport and walking, so it's about 35 minutes, door to door. He walks from our house to the bus, and from Port Authority to his office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479429 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:56:53 +0000 peachykeen 2479429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I each have about a 40 min commute, in completely separate directions, although my work is actually closer geographically (but in the city, so traffic). We specifically chose our suburb/neighborhood when we got married so we would be about equivalent distance to our jobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479428 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:55:31 +0000 JoJoGirl 2479428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 15 min there in no traffic at 5am, ~30 mins home<br /> DH: Works from home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479426 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:52:25 +0000 Littlebit7 2479426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally:<br /> Me: 5 min walk<br /> DH: 35 min by bus or subway</p> <p>Currently:<br /> DH: 10 hours each way as he is flying back and forth out of the country mon/fri.

It could be as little as 30 mins by car, if I were to leave really early, but nominally 45-60 with traffic. </p> <p>DH: 50 (am) - 70 (pm) mins public transit. 25 mins by car. A couple of weeks ago it took him 4 hrs to get home on the bus. Everyone got let go early because of the snow storm, the city didn't put extra buses on, so there were huge lineups to get on the buses, and then they kept getting stuck in the snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479405 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:20:53 +0000 ValentineMommy 2479405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 min - either by car (DH drops me off in the morning), or by train (ride home). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479403 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:19:50 +0000 Adira 2479403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 35 minutes<br /> DH: 45-50 minutes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-and-your-sos/page/2#post-2479386 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 06:26:04 +0000 GrapeCrush 2479386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both DH and I have about a 15-17 minute commute.
