I walk to my writing partner’s place. He lives across the street, so it’s about a 20 second walk. Maybe 30 seconds if I have to wait for traffic to cross the street (it’s not really a busy street). So, about a minute, roundtrip.
Do I win for shortest commute? 
150 miles per day, M-F.
Until we hear from somebody who lives over the shop.
My car goes 4 miles round-trip per day, my body does about 25 miles (I use public transit).
Before working downtown Denver, I used to commute to Colorado Springs every day. 150 miles RT.
130 mi RT, 5 days/week. In a 5-speed Saturn that gets 41 mpg.
According to Mapquest, it is about 65 miles RT. But, I take the train to work so I’m not driving it. I live about 2 miles from the train station, and then walk about .75 miles to work after arriving at Union Station.
About a thousand feet. I live just a few blocks from school.
14 blocks. 1.1 miles (plus 65 yards), according to Streets & Trips. I sometimes hear only ads on the radio. I COULD walk, but it is dangerous enough to DRIVE here, I wouldn’t last a week walking.
Hey, Johnny LA, we should switch jobs. I go about 85 miles from Orange to LA.
My Corrola gets 35 to 40mpg, though
Probably 8 miles round trip.
But it takes about 40 minutes one way, if I don’t have to wait for a train/street car. It’s a ten minute walk to the subway, a 15-20 minute train ride, and a ten minute walk to the office.
Driving would take about 20 minutes one way with all the traffic. Then I’d have to find a parking space. And who knows how long that would take.
I miss my last job. A 20 minute walk each way.
250KM round trip every single darn weekday, by train.
Takes about 1.5-2 hours each way.
About five or six minutes, roundtrip, by foot. It has increased by about a minute each way since they started building a house on what used to be a parking lot that was very handy for cutting across.
same here, SlowMindThinking, some very nasty up-hill stretches…
yuck!
It’s given me nice thighs, though 
115 miles round-trip. From Middle River MD, north east of Baltimore to Rockville MD, north west of DC.
According to Mapquest, 35 miles, round trip. Most of it is highway, but it seems farther. I envy those who can walk/bike to work.
Depends on which entrance to the plant I use. Usually about 0.7 miles round trip (1.5 miles if I want to use the main entrance). If the weather is nice I walk.
40 miles each way. Depending on where I go instead of home, ad another fifteen.
Two blocks. I usually take an hour walk in the morning, then a 5 minute walk home in the evening.
Absolutely you should start a “Ask The Guy Who Works On An Offshore Oil Rig” thread.
I have no choice but to drive to work and back. But recently I’ve had a few doctor appointments in downtown L.A., so I’ve been taking the train from El Segundo where my job is, a distance of about 15 miles as the crow flies. The trains don’t go from El Segundo to downtown L.A. in a direct line, so that’s a considerably longer distance. However, the whole thing takes only an hour, and that’s on two trains and a bus. Yeah, it’s a lot longer than it would take to drive, but I love taking a break and bringing along a couple of books to read. It’s also nice to save on gas and parking.
