Ask HN: What is your commute like?

Atlanta suburbs - 18 miles. One hour if I leave at the wrong time. 40 minutes otherwise. I don't really think about it. It's a straight shot commute and I listen to podcasts to keep occupied.

Strangely enough, I missed the commute when I had a 15 minute commute to work and could work from home most of the time. Driving gives me a chance to decompress and not have to deal with people for a little while before getting home. I'm not naturally a people person and it's mentally draining having to act like I'm one for eight hours a day.

São Paulo, Brazil. I live 7km away from my office.

Daily I walk for 25mins to the nearest train station, then after 4 stations (+10mins) I walk to the office (taking +10mins).

Usually it takes ~50-55min the total commute since the train does not always comes in the same time everyday, so delays are not so rare.

PS: there is a bike lane in several regions of São Paulo, so from my home to the office it would take up to 1hr of commute, using the bike lane all the path.

Lyon, France. About a 5km commute.

- Bike: about 15-20 minutes mostly on bike paths or dual use paths.

- Run: about 25 minutes but usually make it out to 50-60 minutes to get a more serious run in.

- Kick scooter: about 25 minutes.

- Mass transit: about 20-25 minutes by metro (subway) and then tram to a station about 500 meters from the office.

Edinburgh. 20 minutes on a bus, and there are buses every five minutes.

I'm in the Seattle area and my commute is about 6 miles. The walk to the bus stop and subsequent bus ride takes about 30 to 40 minutes each way.
