I used to commute into the city by express bus. Drive to Metro Transit Park-n-Ride lot, park the car and get on the bus. On the way back a lot of people would start their cars (via app) when about 5 minutes away from the lot. That translates to about 4-5 miles at freeway speed. Alternately, at the office, some people parked at a lot that was about a mile away and it's nice to be able to start your car when it's 95F or -15F so it's comfortable when you get there.
