- marssaxman 11y agoYour bus options must be a hell of a lot nicer than mine. (I haven't had the option of commuting by train since college, alas.)
- sammydavis 11y agowow, where did you live where getting to microsoft via 520 took 1.5 hours? 1 hour i believe as an occasional max. maybe across puget sound?
- marssaxman 11y agoGetting to Microsoft never took all that long - it was getting home that took forever and sucked the life out of me.
- jschwartzi 11y agoYeah, I have the same issue going south on I-405 in the afternoon. The road is clogged from 3 miles north of Bellevue and remains clogged until a couple miles south of I-90. I used to spend 50% of my commute time in that pile. We really needed to build rail in the space where we added a toll lane.
- infinite8s 11y agoNYC metro area - I've been commuting by train, but I know many people who live in NJ who commute in by bus.
- wernercd 11y agoI commute ~60 minutes each direction by car. My drive is simple: few minutes to main road from work/home... 55 minutes north/south on a single road... few minutes to work/home. The time honestly dissapears... Podcasts and/or audio books. The scary part is how much time is spent on "auto-pilot".
