I’m assuming that most of you are from the US so probably using cars, but lemme know if you use trains, subways, buses, etc.

Me? Back when I was doing an internship I walked to a nearby station for 10 minutes then transited to another train line, which could be an instant or 20 minutes wait. After that I walked for 10 minutes to my work place. So it was probably about 40 minutes of commute. Of course, I live in tropical country so I’m drenched in sweat as I arrive in the office.

Fortunately every year my city’s public transportation seems to get better and as a result I barely needed to use cars.

Same. When I have an appointment with a costumer: usual a combination of private car, train and rental to reach the destination

Morning: walk 5 km uphill in the snow. Evening: walk 5 km further uphill in the snow to my second house. Next morning: walk 5 km even further uphill to my next place of work

…and so on until the weekend where I walk 50km back down the mountain to my first house, in the snow.

You should get some skis, that 50km would be much more fun!

I only get paid a nickel so I can’t afford skis. But sometimes an avalanche pushes me down faster.

4 years back it was a walk to the station and a half hour train ride.

Now I walk downstairs after waking up at 9:30.

I live in a medium sized city (~95k) in Europe. It takes me around 15 minutes by bike to get to work.
