Question How much do you commute every day?

By commuting I mean, going to your office/college/workplace/business (a fixed place every day).
Please do not include distance for shopping, social travel or weekend travel.

If possible, please mention the town/city from/to where you commute (and the time it takes).

With a good number of response, it may be concluded how far one can live from a town center.

PS:
To Mods: I couldn't find a similar thread after searching, if exists, please merge. Thanks.

I commute one way about 12 KMs per day to office. I made a mistake in the poll, I voted for 21-50 KM not realizing it is one way distance.

I have to do lots of travelling due to work so an average day can vary anywhere from 50kms to 600 kms! Usually commute between Western UP (Moradabad to Meerut) or W UP to Delhi/Noida/Gurgaon/Faridabad.

Monthly commute averages around 4000 kms. per month.

Abt 60 kms each day. To/from office. Social obligations can take a hike on a weekday - come to think of it: on a weekend too.

I do 5kms each way for work. That comes to about < 300kms/month.
But my monthly commute varies from 1500kms-3000kms, I don't know how .
Guess we love drives too much.

Its a 24Km round trip to my college. Though I dont go there everyday these days. :P
And never take the car. Come to think of it, I havent taken the car even a single time from FE till BE.
@Moralfibre : 44 Kms in Pune or Mumbai?

then, about 10kms drive (to & fro) in the Padmini...basically for the evening snack with my GF / friends...

but on sundays it is usually more 30kms drive...from morning till night.
