Mine is about the same but I travel by train. I'd take an hour long trip by train over a half hour drive. I can read a book, people watch and we don't have to keep and maintain a second car.

Currently (until I get a car) I have to travel 70 mins by train and walking between the stations, followed by a 30-40 minute bicycle ride. I've gotten used to it now but I can't wait to get an extra 2.5 hours of each day back when I get a car. At least the trains I get on are not crowded so there's space for my bike, and I have somewhere to eat some breakfast (I can never really eat when I first wake up).

Stop your bitching, I used to do 80km EACH way 5 days a week, 4 hours commute added to the working day. I would leave at 5am just to beat the traffic. You young wipper snappers get it too easy these days.

LUXURY, When i were a lad we had miles not new fangled kilometewotsits, and we didnt commute - no sir, we RAN on our bloodied stumps - it were so far we'd have to leave 2 hours before we went to bed. Get to work, do a days work in half the time before we had to turn around and crawl back home because we were that exhausted. You tell kids these days and they'll not believe you. Bryce

It takes me about 10 minutes to get to work. But that's because I have to put on some shorts and a T-shirt, then stop by the kitchen to make a pot of coffee and on my way from the bedroom to the office.

Israel is the size of New Jersey. It takes me between 40 to 90 minutes to work depends on traffic, accidents, weather etc etc. Audiobooks, podcasts, www.jango.com and good large coffee. Make you car your den :)

Hard to get used to a bad commute. If it were me and I felt the commute was excessive it would mean I'd only keep the job for six months tops. Or I'd plan on moving closer to work. Or work out a telecommute option. I mean; +2 hrs per day that you aren't getting paid for? I can see 1 hr (30 min each way) but 2? Lots of people are fine with that; but it's a personal thing and based entirely on the norm for the city you live in.

For me that would be too long, I'd have to move (or not take a job an hour away). The 'other side of town' here is about 15 minutes on a bike, though, so no worries for me ;)

I live 8 minutes each way. It's on a country road so it never changes. Takes me 10-15 if it's been snowing.

If it moves, compile it
