West Hollywood to Santa Monica usually takes just under an hour. On the way home has been up to 2 hours on really bad days but usually an hour to 75 mins.
Our office moves in like 7 months to a place it'd take me less time to walk than it does to drive to work now.

9. "between 35-45 minutes, sometimes an hour" In response to Reply # 0
it all depends on what time I leave out 5 minutes off and I'm sitting in traffic for the most part I hate it but it's not too bad as long as traffic keeps moving next job must be closer to home though
My commutes were 1:15-1:30 depending on traffic. I got to listen to so much music and stayed up on current events more by listening to NPR.
Now that I work from home I don't listen to as much music and if a newsworthy event wasn't posted here I prolly don't know about it.

I work long hours and try to work at odd times to avoid the rush hours.
God forbid there's any weather at all (like this morning and the tiny overnight dusting) and these idiot drivers act like precipitation is goddam Godzilla running amok.
Then I pay to park like six blocks farther away because it's a lot cheaper.

I loved my long commutes.

>yes...but after a while it wears on your body
My commutes were between 1hr and 1.5/1.75 hrs. For the last three years is was 1.5hrs minimum one way.
Just gotta be even somewhat active and you'll be aiight.

24. "10-15 minutes, but it has to be timed just right" In response to Reply # 0
I live roughly 4 or 5 miles from the job, but that last mile is through a very congested corridor. There's a high school, a university, two hospitals and a large government facility all within a half mile stretch.
The morning and afternoon rushes are gridlock, so if I don't get out ahead of them, that 10-15 can easily turn into 30-40. That's the frustrating thing, knowing that you are literally minutes away from home, but you're just sitting in traffic.

I'd like to ride my road bike to work more, but the 7.5 miles through the city is just far enough that I jump on the motorbike most days. Nothing beats the freedom of riding a bike and not having to deal with 95% of traffic issues.

Do a Waze or Google maps search WITH traffic, to and fro, rush hour, and you're getting 17-25 minutes as the most typical result.
Takes me about ten min to get to the 105, either Crenshaw or Prarie, then 7-10 min to get inside my parking garage.
I'm going against most traffic. Only traffic is riiiight where the 405 traffic combines n gets to the 105 West, and that's for the Nash and then Sepulveda (airport) exit. Before that bottleneck, it's zero hassle.
Going home, hopping on the 105 to the 405 north tunnel gets me to the manchester/Florence exit in like 5-7 minutes max. Florence or Manhhester to my house can be 12-20 minutes or so based on rush hour traffic.

I just did the opposite, I'm now 10 minutes away from the crib and it's great! If the pay is not that different I would consider staying at your job where your closer. But my old commute was 40 miles one way and it stunk.

This is my college commute... I don't have a job yet
I take a 30 + min bus ride to the train station, then a 12 to 30 min train to the 2nd train station, then the second train goes from 40-70 mins, then a ~ 15 min shuttle to campus. All of these times vary by the day.
I only travel on Tuesdays and Friday's, thank god, otherwise FUK going to college lmao (well I say this every day anyway)
Gotta get up at 5 am so I can eat breakfast but I usually get up at like 6:30 because I got sleeping problems. Tuesday's I get home at like 9pm.
This is y I hate Tuesdays now
It takes longer going home because the shuttle to my school and my 1st train aren't in sync. So I end up waiting a longer time for the train. And after I get to the station, the wait for the 2nd train is up to 30 minutes, depending.
I just learned to deal with it. I chose to live where I live and work where I work. What helps is going against traffic(except midway) and listening to music and podcasts. Going home is a 45 min-1hr drive home, depending on freeway closures, accidents, etc.

76. "Someone talk me out of this craziness. From no commute to 2hr" In response to Reply # 0
Current commute: 10 min walk each way Proposed commute: ~2hr drive each way
Situation: I work in a small town with little to no culture, entertainment, nightlife, etc. But just "down the road" is a big city with everything I want.
I only have to physically be at my work location two days a week (3 days on rare occasions, probably once a month).
In my mind, I'm thinking doing that drive twice a week wouldn't be too terrible. But on the other hand, I feel like I'm underestimating it.
77. "8 hour drive, one way" In response to Reply # 0
I drive to work, then work for 8 hours, then drive home and instantly repeat the cycle, 5 days a week. Then I sleep 48 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Nah, I'm bullshitting. But it is an hour, ten minutes by train, or 20-25 minutes by lyft, one way.
