Some of us take a train, boat, car, bus what ever it is let us know? As for me I drive in to work I live about 10 minutes from my office never get any traffic. But today I had to go down town and the traffic was unbelievable :twisted: I just don’t know how some people do it I would have so much road rage [smilie=angryfire.gif] [smilie=angry5.gif]

Drive to train
Train to city
Walk to office
Actually very non stressful as I am always bang on time. Its only when something major happens, like somebody jumping in front of the train, that it becomes a pain.

I drive. Some days it not a big deal. Other days, the commute is more of a war.
Some people should not be driving.

Used to drive into Chicago everyday now our shop is 10 minutes from my house so the drive is a breeze. I too can understand how people get nutty when it takes them an hour and forty-five minutes to go 20 or so miles. Traffic sucks.

Sitting on the train though I am always looking at the watches around me, and I must say I am always dissapointed.
Do any of you do the same thing?
Drive, 35 miles to work each morning, but I arrive at 6:00 am so I avoid the lovely Atlanta traffic.
I get out of bed....walk about 9 feet to the bedroom door.....open it..walk over to my office.....take the PC out of standby mode.....open the curtains to blazing sunshine.......and think..."what a drag......I'm gonna move to Alaska or Vermont"...... :roll:

Always got my eyes open. Besides a couple of cheap TAGs, I have yet to see anything interesting.

1 hour and a half car/train commute. The price of having pace and quiet. No complaints.
Best watch I have ever seen on my commute: a Full size SeaMaster Pro.

Walk 5.5 blocks to the subway = 10 min.
Wait on platform for train = 5 min.
Ride to downtown in a very crowded car = 20 min.
Walk 3 blocks to office = 7 min.
Total travel time = approx. 45 min.
Travel distance = 3.5 miles
I hate public transportation

Love it!
For me, when I worked for a rather large photo/film manufacturer in Rochester NY, my commute was 80 miles each way - but traffic was nothing, good radio stations or books on tape - one hour each way. Now, in NYC I take a cab, but usually call for the minivan cab if I have lots of equipment. Or I bike - there is no better way to see or commute in NYC than by bike. I have yet to be beaten by any motorized vehicle from Columbus Circle to Canal Street.

Easy Pugs. Metra and the EL work just fine in ChiTown. I just won't use it. I just want to burn up as much fossil fuel as possible. You know how us Americans are, gluttonous slobs. Ozone shmozone.Pugwash said:

I thought you lived in scotland (forgive me if I'm wrong).... but if it's true... blazing sunshine? If you live in the sunniest part of scotland, you are only going to open those curtains to sunshine at most 20% of the time.
Now, to answer the question. If I do go in to work, it's a straight shot - 3 minutes by car. I would walk, but I live on a wicked high/steep hill that would be a bitch to walk up at the end of the day.
