How long does it take you to drive to work?

Leaving home at 8: 25 - 35mins
Leaving home at 7: 40mins +

Never left home any earlier.
 
3.5 hours per day = 210 minutes per day = 4200 minutes per month (20 work days) = 50400 minutes per year = 1.14 months of the year you spend travelling.
So take a calendar and trow one of the months in the bin, because you are wasting that just getting to work.
I am amazed at some of the distances and the time taken to travel to work.

Mine is an 8km journey that takes approximately 20 minutes in either direction
 
When I go to the office, 94km each way. Just under an hour if people refrain from hitting each other on the R21.
Otherwise 0 and work at home.
 
Under 5mins (with robots and a traffic circle).Sometimes take a longer route to warm up engine.

My previous employer moved to Cape Town so I left the company after 11 years purely because if I can't ride to work on my bike then I don't work there.
Told my current boss the other day that the only three ways I leave this company is they fire me or I die or they move out of Stellenbosch :D
 
10 minutes, leisurely 2.5km cycle to work.All depends on wind speed and direction though..
 
It used to take me anything from 40min - 1hour+ to travel via the N1 in CPT.
Then I changed job AND moved house by some really good fortune ended up 2.8km from my new office. This was really not planned for this reason.

Walk: 25min
Bicycle: 10min
MyCity bus: 15min (end-to-end from my front door to my desk in the office)
Car: 7min

Still have to try jogging but not ideal with a 17" laptop on your back...
 
By Car:

To Work: 20min
To Home: 25min

Table View to Century City. I swear I will never work in town again!
