    Default How long is your commute?

    Average commute to work for me:

    km = 20 each way
    time = 25-35 minutes

    I go against traffic so it\'s quite reasonable (North York to Richmond Hill)

    now it is about 18km one way against traffic (Richmond Hill to Aurora). In September it will be a little shorter, probably about 15km, along back-roads. About 15-20mins.

    25km one way North York to Downtown. Usually takes less than 30mins, as I drive off-hours. Takes up to an hour in rush hour.

    17Km\'s in 20min approx. I\'ve been lucky and my industry surround me in the Brampton/Mississauga area.

    I vowed never to work more than 35-40min from my residence unless the salary was so, so, so enticing to make me do it. Friggin, commuting, wear and tear on ones nerves, vehicle mileage, gas and time spent commuting does not make good quality of life.

    I hear all these young cats talking of cheap homes in whereverville and they commute 1hr30-2hrs enduring traffic and it doesn\'t pay off; unless you have a compressed work week or car pool.

    I use to take Mount. Pleasant (or Bayview) to Eglington, across to Leslie. Leslie is pretty fast, not too many intersections.

    Now I live in Scarborough & drive to Markham. 25 mins there, 45 mins back. 401/DVP junction has crazy jams in the afternoon

    17km approx. = 20 min. in good traffic in the morning - 45min. -1 hour drive home every night
    (Oshawa to Pickering)

    Soon to be Oshawa to Ajax, but it won\'t shave off more than 5-7min.

    7 mins walk from my house.

    Sometimes I take the car to shave 45 sec. off. Parking is murderous though, the parking enforcement is nothing short of harrassment.

    Not sure of the kilometers, but about 15-20 minutes, barely enough to really enjoy it.

    70km each way (Hamilton to Mississauga (401/Dixie)) Traffic is a disaster. Usually it takes me about an hour or so with traffic. No traffic = 30 mins

    Around 70 or so KM from Scarborough to Brampton. I usually take the 407 to save time and my nerves because the 401 is a parking lot in the morning and evening. High $$$ but the savings in time is well worth it...
