How far can you drive to work each day before it becomes too far ?

Is this a moan thread or what?

The longest commute I've had from my previous jobs was 25 mins, the shortest 5 mins. I've travelled for over an hour when I've had to attend training or a meeting elsewhere but on a regular basis I wouldn't do more than 40 mins each way. Work takes up enough of my day already, I prefer to keep my commuting to a minimum.

My commute is 20 miles and takes about 45-50 mins each way. It is expensive but I don't mind the timing, it's quite nice to start slowly with the radio and de-stress on the way home.

My commute is a little over 20 miles each way. Just started cycling there and back most days now. saves alot on fuel.

I once had a 40 minute commute or 50 minutes during traffic. And I hated it. It was having to plan to make sure you're not late, and then at the end of the day when your tired after work you still had to travel a bit before being able to relax.

That's about mine; 35 mins on a good day; 50 on a bad day; 75 if the tunnel closes. 7.5 miles each way. I don't hate it as much as the unpredictability of crossing the Thames. I'm lucky that I'm not tied to clocking-in so and no-one will care much if I'm late. If I was working to a fixed start time I'd be less happy about having to set off earlier to allow for problems.

If I could walk in anything less than say 30 minutes (with the option of car when it's raining) then I'd do that rather than the 10 minute drive.
