Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged my comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat - made the bus in seconds flat. Found my way upstairs and had a smoke. Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

Take the A Train.
Some days I stumble out of bed and sit in front of the PC (three days a week). Nice.
When I have to go to the office, I walk 5 minutes to the subway station, hop on for three stops, then walk 5 minutes. Total: 15 to 20 minutes. I used to walk before I started carrying my laptop around with me.
Walk 6 blocks to the J train. Travel through lovely Cypress Hills and East New York down to Fulton Street. Walk 10-15 minutes to the World Financial Center. Total time - over one hour.
I drive twenty-eight blocks to my job, even though it’s only 3.5 miles and there’s a bus that goes virtually door-to-door.
The reason I do this is that in Minneapolis, the bus stops at EVERY SINGLE BLOCK. I drive the same route and get there faster.
The law firm also pays for my indoor heated secured parking, which is much nicer than slogging from the bus stop during Minnesota winters. 
It’s also especially nice considering that I work late many nights.
If we had light rail or a subway, I’d take that instead. I miss Boston. I rode the T everywhere and didn’t own a car.
Reluctantly.
I cycle the mile to and from work every day. Which isn’t fun on mornings like this morning when it’s still dark and pissing with rain. But it doesn’t cost anything.
I walk out of my condominium to the bus stop, where I catch the 3T to West Falls Church Metro Station (7 minutes). I ride the train from West Falls Church to Farragut West Metro Station (20 minutes), then I walk .5 miles along 17th St./Connecticut Ave NW to my office on N Street, just two blocks shy of Dupont Circle. (10 minutes), so altogether, it takes me roughly 40 minutes from door to door.
A visual tour of how scott evil gets to work…
Walk down the street, take the underpass to Georges-Vanier metro. Take metro, direction Côte-Vertu, to du Collège metro. Take the #214 bus to work.
If I’m later, I take the metro to Côte-Vertu, then take the #216 bus to work.
I walk to work. It takes me about eleven minutes. Well, now that I’m extremely pregnant, it takes closer to thirteen minutes.
Walk 4 blocks North to train station.
Take commuter train East approx 25 miles to Chicago. Nearly always sitting on the top level of the front part of the 3d car from the front. (Not that I’m anal about it!)
Walk about 5 blocks SE to work.
Drive the 7 or 8 miles.
On a good day, it takes 20 minutes.
On a bad day, it can take over an hour and a half
Average about 40 minutes.
I sort of feel guilty - it’s only 7 miles…but the route I use doesn’t have a bike or walking path, so doing either one of those would more than double my commute. Plus taking the bus is an automatic 1.5 hours (and due to the schedule, only at weird times) plus a lot of walking in the rain & $4 each way. So it’s more expensive and less convenient than driving. And the lack of rigid scheduling means that carpooling is out.
I’ve heard of the “slugging” idea in SF/Oakland too. I’d love to be able to do that.
Walk 1 mile to the Boston College “T”(subway) stop. Ride for about 45 min. Get off and walk through two malls to get to my office building.
set coffee cup on roof of car. Pop Hood. Check powersteering fluid level every third day (it leaks). Clode Hood, get coffee cup, open garage door, start car n go.
Out to the street, if leaving too late take about 15 minutes to cross onto the main street (damn traffic), otherwise 45 minutes straight shot down peachtree - 16 miles. UGH!
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem?
My commute is currently about 3/4 mile, which takes roughly 5 minutes. Yes, I know how lucky I am.
Walk 6.5 blocks. Take F train. Transfer to V train. Walk 3 blocks. Takes one hour, door to door.
