    I drive to work at 8pm, and it takes me about 20 minutes and but then I don't finish work until 2.30am or 3.30am so when I drive back it takes between 10-15 minutes.

    Driving to college takes longer for me, which takes 30-45minutes depending on the traffic in the morning. That's only 'cause of traffic though, otherwise it'd take about 20 minutes.

    I don't mind, though. I love driving with my music turned up loud and singing along like an idiot, or listening to Chris Moyles if it is in the morning. only problem is the cost of petrol. ughughugh.

    I'm happy with the distances I have to go to get to work, because it's nothing like my Dad has to do. He works abroad, so each week he'll travel from England to anywhere in Europe and then back again for the weekends.

At least I had morning snacks ^_^

    Total time: about an hour. On a subway. WTF
    Man, that sounds loco.

    It's a 20 minute drive, but I don't have a car, so it's 30 minutes with train and an hour on foot. Maybe I should get a bike.

    As I don't drive, I commute to work every day. I get a bus up to town or walk there for eight. Get a train into another town at eight and get off the train at about quarter past eight to get a bus at twenty past. I then get off the bus and walk to ASDA to buy my lunch before walking to work and getting there for about quarter/ten to nine. As for getting home, I have a choice between an hour long bus journey and walking for twenty minutes or a ten minute train journey and then walking for half an hour if I leave work at half four rather than five. As my boss understood that that half an hour made a difference of an hour to me getting home, she lets me leave at half four to get home at half five. I should really learn to drive. It's only a summer job and the pay's good (£7 an hour, so about $14), so I don't mind doing it just over the summer while the weather is nice.

    I drive an hour to get to work and an hour to get home every day. It's always in traffic, so I use it as time to myself and like to turn my music up extremely loud.

    Sometimes I adjust my day by an hour to miss the traffic if I don't feel like sitting in it.
