Mavric Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 When I lived in Lincoln - about 5 miles, 15ish minutes (luckily I was always opposite the main traffic flow) When I first moved back West - 20 miles, 25 minutes Now - 1 mile, about 3 minutes Quote Link to comment

I didn't live in a great area for commuting at the time, and I had my parking reimbursed. Would've taken me about an hour and a half by bus/train, which was already a reason not to if I didn't have to pay for parking, but I also occasionally suffer from motion sickness. Not that often, but juuuuust often enough to make it really annoying to consistently rely on public transpo. Quote Link to comment

TheSker Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I put about 40,000 miles per year on a company truck going to construction sites along the Colorado I-25 corridor and into southern Wyoming. I'm not sure how to classify that commute. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I had to commute to Omaha from Lincoln for about a week once. It was OK until I got to the interchange in Omaha to head downtown. All in all, it was a little more than an hour and 15 minutes. I'm stunned by the people who make that drive daily and don't go crazy. But, I also never understood one of my friends who lived in L.A. for awhile and had one of those infamous 3 hour in, 3 hour out commutes every single day. I just do not get that. My current commute now is about 20. Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Currently about 20 mil/ 30 minute each way. I do travel east and the sun can sometimes be an issue. I use to work downtown Minneapolis but I took a bus. It was a solid 50-60 minutes each way but I slept or played on my phone for most of it. My wife had a 55 mile commute for a while that was about an hour and 15 minutes each way. I dont know how she put up with that. I would probably want my daily average to be 45 min and under if possible. Quote Link to comment

It took about an hour in the morning and anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours at night. I think it's why I lost my hair It was even the worse the week of the Super Bowl. I had a 3+ hour drive home one night. I left my job in DT minneapolis prior to the Super Bowl coming out here last year but I heard it was HELL. Basically all the parking most businesses had they lost.. a lot of my old co workers just worked remote. They said it was AWFUL downtown. I am south of minneapolis now in Edina and I felt it ramp up a bit but it wasnt horrible. Minnesota traffic can get really bad but thankfully I just miss the nasty stuff. If my office was just two more miles east I bet it would add 15 more minutes though. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I did Lincoln to Omaha for about 3 months. It was too much for me. I could probably tolerate a 45 min drive but my goal is to have a 15 min commute. Right now I’m at 25. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 11 miles, usually takes about 15 minutes unless there is a train. I work in the old stockyards/industrial area in Sioux City, so I drive over tracks on three of the four ways into the area. So if there's a train on each track, I have to go all the way around, so that takes an additional 5-10 minutes. Quote Link to comment

That would really trigger me not knowing on a daily basis whether my route to work would be the same as yesterday's. Props to ya. Quote Link to comment
