That would be about right on my commute by car, five hours a week.... 240 hours a year... eek! Used 48 weeks of the year as a rough estimate. I am looking at changing jobs, the commute being one of the reasons, the quality of those five hours a week plus is what I am really counting. It is brutal sitting in a parking lot called a road on those winter mornings and evenings. The stress level can get rather high, today I had a road rage Toyota truck lic SAB 970 get all in my face. The guy was darting in and out of lanes at a nutty rate of speed, I looked in my driver side mirror (nothing there), a millisecond later a frickin' truck screaming by almost side swiping me.

Walking to work or riding my bike would be the best in my opinion. Like a scene out of Office Space is what my commute feels like.

I think mine is generally around 40-50mins.
Drive to crowfoot, take train, walk to office.
15-25-5

[derpderp]

5 minutes top to get out the house and in the car
5 minutes and I am at school

[Xtrema]

30mins + 45mins

1hr + 1.5hr if on public transit (as I remembered)

[Freeskier]

0 hrs boo ya. The trip to port could be 5 to 15 hrs depending on if its ucluelet, hardy or rupert, but once i'm up here there's no commute for 3 weeks.

Back when I was landscaping in Calgs, it was half an hour in the morning and usually an hour in the afternoon

[Chandler_Racing]

Typically about 12 - 15 minutes to the office.

I start at 10am to avoid traffic in the morning and because I hate getting up early.

mission to downtown.
12-15 minutes, each way. (winter)
8-12 minutes, each way. (summer)

quite curious to hear fellas in the burbs tell me it takes them an extra 5 minutes. don't believe it for a second.

[Modelexis]

20-35 each way depending on traffic.

When I lived in Calgary last summer, I was averaging 1+ hour per day. Of course, I worked near Deerfoot and 17th and lived in the NW

7 minute walk each way door to door. Love it.

Same here. As long as I leave at a specific time in the morning to beat the surge of traffic on Deerfoot.

[A2VR6]

15 mins by transit each way. Gotta love those express buses

[InRich]

Another reason why working from home kicks ass... I really dunno how you guys put up with sitting in a car each morning in rush hour for those lengths of time...

I remember when I sold garage heaters, it took me 30 - 40 min to go from Mckenzie to blackfoot.
