I'm less than 5 minutes. I live and work on campus, I don't even drive anymore except to get groceries and visit friends/family.

20 minutes - Driving (non rush-hour)
25 minutes - Biking (good weather)
35 minutes - Biking (bad weather)
45 minutes - Driving (rush-hour)
50 minutes - Public transit
Since I usually fall into the rush-hour on the way home, I just bike to work most days.

15 minutes to get there, but coming home it is 3 hours
Thats kind of extreme, does the bus have a round trip through Wales first?
My commute to the office kind of depends on if I stop by the kitchen to get breakfast on my way to the basement...
Once I get out of the office though, it might take me anywhere from 10 minutes to 4 hours to get to the work site, depending on what I am doing that day.

That's a nice way to commute!My commute to the office kind of depends on if I stop by the kitchen to get breakfast on my way to the basement...
No, to get there I get a lift from a mate as he goes to work same time I go to college but the bus back stops at every stop even if there is no one there and waits 5 minutes
i had to drive to markham every day up the DVP/404 from the Beaches area...lost years of my life
I don't miss that...Cheers.

My school journey is about 20 minutes in the morning and just over 1 mile. The journeys' slightly quicker coming from school though haha
Between the jobs I do and the suppliers I have to go to, it's 5-15 minutes.
The worst work commute I have ever had in my life was many years ago on a stretch of highway called "Blood Alley", and in this one hour commute, about 20 minutes was on the southern end of it. On a good day, I could do the 33 miles in 45 minutes, and on a bad day, with 18 wheelers and RVs blocking the road, it could take 1 hour and 10 minutes. Thank God I had a radio in the car.
When I was in different schools, one I lived on campus so I walked to class, one right behind campus, then apartment or house minutes away.

...but a couple were Saturday classes at a different affiliated campus 130 miles away, the commute from hell, and I would:
get up at 4 a.m., jump, scream, or slap myself awake, shower, eat breakfast, dress up, gather books
leave home at 5:30 a.m.
eat breakfast in the city by 8 a.m.
be in class by 9 a.m.
Class was 4 hours until one
then I would unwind, have lunch but had to get going by three to beat rush hour to get home by six
If I didn't beat the SF rush hour, I would have to stick around, do homework which was often original research, or tool around the sights and party in crazy SF, or maybe have dinner in Berkeley where it was also fun and amusing to party with the Cal crowd, but safer if I was too burned out with SF, and get on the highway well after 9 p.m. when things were sufficiently slow (but still bustling) and most of the Saturday party goers hit their clubbing destinations, then get a late snack and plenty of coffee midway through in or near San Jose somewhere and maybe do some more homework, still dodging that area's party crowd if not briefly joining them for some party action, too, and get home by 2-3 a.m. and usually I was so wired it took time to fall asleep so it would be 4 a.m. again to my quiet rural town. It was like the show 24.
These two classes, one in '95 and one in '96 which I couldn't do at my local campus, were the only times I ever stayed up 24 hours at any time in my life. I was much younger then and I vowed I would never stay up that many hours again and since then, I never have. I almost got the $90 dollar commuter roundtrip airplane deal which would use additional $50 air taxi to bring me close enough to school and home at both stops. 40 minutes each way including taxi, no having to get up early or stay up late, and no dealing with SF and SJ drunk partiers on the highways.
I never go to bed in the wee hours, that's for young people and fools (if you are a morning riser).

From home to the main offices of the California Franchise Tax Board in Sacramento, CA (ducking brickbats from everyone here who hates to file income tax forms ) is about an 8-10 minute drive. It used to take longer but ever since they put in the flyover bridge for Sacramento Regional Transit light rail over Watt Avenue at the Watt Avenue/Folsom Boulevard intersection, that cut out a MAJOR traffic bottleneck.

Hmm... it usually takes less than 5 minutes to get to work, driving. Yeah... this is when I don't slow down for dips or follow the speed limit
