Mine is a 15 minute walk to and from the train, a half hour on the train, and a 10 minute walk to and from work. Add in 5-10 minutes for waiting around and it's just about an hour each way, give or take a few minutes.
It used to be closer to an hour and a half, but both my work and I moved closer to the train on each end.
I always just assumed shoes lived by the door.
You mean they don't?
Even if you have a shoe rack to put them near on?
Yeah, my 45 minute commute is fine, but only because it's not in a car. I think driving that long each way every day would not be good for my sanity.
I'm actually looking forward to my commute next week when I go back to work because I'll finally be able to start listening to all my podcasts again!
Mine is a ~25 minute drive in non-downtown city traffic. Having done friends' 30 minute by interstate commutes a couple of times, I much prefer the stoplights and idiots of my commute to their 70 mph and idiots. Plus, my alternate routes ? Take about the same amount of time, whereas theirs turn into these incredible hourplus slogs.
about 5 pairs of my shoes live near my bedroom door. the rest of the casual shoes live in one closet in a combo of hanging storage and boxes, dress shoes live in the other closet in boxes.
I'm about an hour from when I step on the train to when I step into my office. I'm OK with that most days.
My commute is about 20 minutes, one way. That will chage a bit when we move to Ypsi and Em starts school.
During my trip to Atlanta, I got caught in the tail end of the Baltimore to DC rush hour. It was not pleasant. At all. Otherwise, I was able to avoid any major traffic snarls (including Atlanta, thankfully - I can see why people say that driving in that rush hour is of the suck).
I'm about an hour from when I step on the train to when I step into my office. I'm OK with that most days.
Is that if you take the shuttle from North Station, or if you walk?
