    Default how much do you drive?

    here in Calgary, with the city keep expanding bigger not "higher".
    i put in 70km round trip during a workday. that's alot of driving imo.

    but then again, a friend of mine lives in Airdrie and works in the south of Calgary, that's ~100km/day and he doesn't mind it at all even though he's stuck behind deerfoot rush-hour traffic every freaking afternoon!!!!!

    so, it would be interesting to know how much an average calgarian drive just to go to work nowadays (not those who drive for living).

    how much do you drive in average (workday) ?

    I drive 7kms each way to work and in the opposite direction of rush hour. Its pretty nice but it wont last forever. If I ever had to change jobs, the commute would be a big factor ecpecially if it meant 1hr each way for 260 working days

    From just work and back, 50-60km's from Marda loop to Glenmore & Barlow (I work close by there).
    15-20 min each way, but I work from 5am-3 most days so dont have to worry about Rush hour.

    From the deep NW to Chinook area each day, about 40 mins each way. Enough that I'm thinking about a dashcam because 90+ minutes on the road every day when you don't drive for a living is just asking for trouble.

    285 km round trip from red deer to Calgary. Only have to do it twice a week this semester fortunately.

    It doesn't seem too bad, seeing as some of you average around 100k a day and you live local.
