    I didn't live far enough away from campus to have to drive until my senior year. That year also saw my highest attendence. I had to get to school early enough to park or write the whole day off. Although it did help that my classes ended at noon and were all in the same building my last semester.

                7.5 miles. Although the nature of my job, I may not have to stop into the office/shop, I could go out to a location. And some of those locations can bring me as far out as Reno, Nevada. Which is about 450 miles I believe.

                    12.2 miles, and it takes about 15 minutes to drive. However, my commute is often 2000 miles or more (when I have to fly off site). My next commute is probably to Toulouse, FR. That will be 7000 miles???

                      Approx 13 km - takes 35 mins on bicycle - 25 by bus and 15-20 mins by car. The bus cheats because it can take a road where cars isn't allowed thus avoiding the queues on the highway.

                      Well, I could sleep an hour more and reduce car time to 10-12 mins but why waste a lot of money on a 5-10 minutes benefit ?

                            2 miles, or about 4 to 6 min. depending on how many cars are in front of me. Back city streets.

                            When I was working at MINSY, it was 30 to 35 min., 13 to 16 miles, in the morning and 40 to 45 at night. Distant depended on where I was parking. Our base was 5 miles long and 2 miles wide.
