Social What's the longest you would commute to work?

Walking, about 40 minutes. Jogging, about 22 minutes. Traffic is horrendous so probably quicker to walk than use public transport.

I'd say 45 min max.

Any longer than that is a drag.

But roughly it takes me about 30 min to go to work.

I did 45 min each way when I worked for Tesla and it was rough but tolerable. Back in the day, my girl and I had just moved into a new apartment and my boss at my contracting company wanted me to take a management job at Wells Fargo in downtown SF. I already had a good tech job but that paid a little more. It would have been like a 2 hour commute. My boss didn't understand why I wouldn't even consider it. I wanted nothing to do with commuting to downtown SF daily.

I was stuck on public transport, with 3 changes, whilst I could sort of relax a bit it was never long enough between changes to get comfortable and that's if you got a seat, real problem was the long term health problems it can cause....... Because yeah public transport better for environment just not your health....

Man I miss taking the jubilee line to central.
 
I takes me about an hour. Thats probably my max. It’s not unusual for where I live to get to the industrial areas.
 
im a tradesman and my unions territory is like 11 counties around chicago. I used to live a ways out from the city and my commute was anywhere from 1 hour - 1 1/2 hours depending on traffic and time of day. I always circumvented this by leaving work early by 1 everyday....but regardless the commute sucked. I did this for 13 years, and it just became normal till i moved way closer to the city near every single major highway. My commutes now are 30 minutes tops. Infact , this company I started for 2 months ago, gets a bunch of work in the hospital literally 30 seconds from my house. Been there for the last two weeks, fucking amazing. Having 2 hours extra everyday, not spent in a car, is now a regularity, and not something I will ever think about non- chalantly about again

I did one hour and wouldn't do it again. I guess I'd do 30 minutes. Man, I love working from home.

It's a necessity where we live but nearly came unstuck a few months ago. Husband was employed as a remote worker during Covid. We relocated as did 80% of his team, then the company asked everyone to start working from the office in San Francisco which was a 7 hour drive on a good day. It worked out okay with a new company WFH again but a bit of a worry all the same.
 
I used to do an hour and a half. Wouldn't do it again.
