How much do you commute every day? And how much time does it take?

sujaylahiri · 17th February 2009, 06:46

30 km one way to work. Takes me a little under 20 mins in the morning, based on weather conditions. But during winter when the roads get really icy, my commute goes up to over 30 min. On top of that you have the possibility of hitting a deer or moose on the way with no traction on icy roads.

Above 40 kms one way [ Muvattupuzha to Cochin ]. It takes around 1 hour in the morning as well as at night, on the way back.
So more than 80 kms a day total, on my Unicorn

I normally take less than 2 minutes each way. Sometimes if I am stuck behind a truck climbing the incline at 5kmph, it does stretch to 3-4 minutes.

You're one lucky dude, aren't you? The time it takes you to commute from home -> work is the same time it takes me to cross only the 1st junction (of atleast 25!!).

I travel around 30-35 kms per day one side on weekdays.

On Weekends this can stretch at times to 100 -150 kms in total per day.

Normally have to travel from Delhi - Noida.

Time taken - In Morning around 1 hr or so.In Evenings around 1 hr or so.

Cars Used - Swift / Esteem

Well during weekdays it's just around 17 Km's (To and Fro) to the office and it generally takes me around 30-40 min. depending upon traffic.During weekends it's around 20-40 Km's and time taken is generally at own sweet will.Oh how I love weekends

kannan666 · 17th February 2009, 18:20

Office and back around 40kms per day for five days a week ! Weekend trips extra !

11 kms one way for me, from HSR Layout to Electronics City. Takes about 25 mins in the morning and about 35 mins in the evening. Weekends are different, mostly I go to Kerala (mostly by bus/train) and drive around there

RAC · 17th February 2009, 18:53

5 Kms one way for me. Still takes about 10-15 min's

vasudeva · 18th February 2009, 09:59

From 8/2006-mid-feb 2009-70 kms/day from East Delhi to Gurgaon. Time taken: 120-150 mins both ways (average, with 20-30 mins extra on really bad days)
From 16/2/09: 22 km/day from East Delhi to Noida. Time taken (3 days only so far): 45-60 mins both ways.

shabahmad · 18th February 2009, 10:03

I just have to travel around 7-8 Km from my home to office, but it takes around 20-25 minutes because of errant Bikers & Cyclelist. Still there is less road sense on pune streets.
