Outrail posted:How much time do you save? I mean once you factor parking your car and poo poo, it must be a few minutes or so? If you're working a physical job for 16 hours yeah whatever but if you're at a desk you'll probably sleep better having done a bit of exercise. It was a physical job so there was that aspect / reason to not want more exercise. Also I am at least partially a lazy poo poo, I am a goon afterall.

The spur freeway turns into a road that leads straight to my work. The only real problem we have in my town is people driving slow until you switch lanes to go by them, then they speed up like you're insulting them by daring to go around. Also the small town folk who think that 2 or more lanes going one way = interstate. Still, our drivers are decent. Not like those loving Utah jerks.

Bobcats posted:rearended by dummies who train to look for brake lights so they can play on their phone more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gryZTClA_Y got one of these for xmas, its prob technically illegal but i dont care because i like my pain-free perfectly functioning spine about 3 yrs ago i anticipated bad changes coming at work due to new mgmt and took a different position to hide out for a while that required a different schedule (for no real reason of course) which gave me an 1-1.5hr commute in stop and go traffic each way, and i was driving a WRX at the time with a somewhat heavy OEM clutch. I didn't even make it one year and ended up depressed and was eventually caned for reasons stemming from willingly making my own hours...I claimed my termination was related to ongoing depression and anxiety and was approved able to collect for the 6 months that followed until republicans let extended UI benefits expire (get cancer and die john bohner). i dont have a clue how semi truck drivers can physically/mentally do that poo poo their whole life without cracking.

I commute to and from NYC, about 25 miles each way every goddamn day. If I take the train, I have to take 3-4 trains. The commuter rail gets me in to NYC, then I take a shuttle subway, and then two other separate subway lines. Takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Pretty terrible but it's where I get all of my reading done. If I take the car, it takes anywhere between 45-60 mins, but parking is pretty awful, and I usually have to get a spot where I have to show up 30 minutes early and wait in the car until the parking regulations are over, so it's really an hour and a half commute to work and an hour back home. I can't really drive in on Wednesdays because there are no street cleaning rules in effect that day, so that basically means no spots unless I get super lucky and see someone pull out of a spot. Otherwise it's $35 a day to buy a spot in a garage. If I take my motorcycle, which I almost exclusively do when it's not pouring rain or really loving cold, it takes me 30-45 mins and I can park wherever the gently caress I want and it owns. I can get past all the traffic and skip to the front of lights. However no one sees me and cabs constantly try and run me off the road. Overall, would not recommend living anywhere near NYC ever. It's either pay loving $3,500 a month for a lovely 1 bedroom apartment with no windows directly in the city, or pay a little less for a nice apartment outside the city, but deal with a horrible commute which is basically like working 11+ hour days so you have no free time.

$3500 a month for a 1 brm? Any bonus cash you make by working in NYC the Big Apple you spend on housing. What the gently caress is the point? I spent a week in New York and was like lol, this is stupid.

I spent a week in New York and was like lol, this is stupid. That's really just for Manhattan and northwest Brooklyn (i.e. the neighborhoods closest to Manhattan). The rest of the city is relatively reasonable if you're not a wage slave.

That's a weirdly specific question. But unless google maps is a liar it seems like a not-terrible commute by car or train.

I had a 5 minute commute but then I got greedy and took another job 26 miles away for $50k/yr more and now my commute is 1-3 hours each way depending on the weather. I wish to die

Move to another house that's closer? Or rent a tiny poo poo room near to work and live there four nights a week like a bachelor(ette) slob.

just switched jobs which should save me approx 5 minutes on my evening commute. negligible difference in the morning due to traffic patterns. people that merge right into a lane where people are merging ONTO the freeway should be pulled from their cars and shot until dead.

I live in this perfect world where I spend 15 minuets on a lovely country road then 10 minuets on a 6 lane highway that never gets congested until the exit after my work. I don't really work a normal schedule or hours so I never really have to be in at a specific time either. It rules.

For my first apartment, I paid 800 per month (utilities included) for a room in a 2 bedroom apartment in washington heights near columbia university. It took me about 30 minutes to get to work on the train and it ruled. Everyone that claims its impossible to get reasonable rent in NYC isn't looking in the right places or wants to live alone like a hermit rear end in a top hat.

revmoo posted:*Gets to end of onramp doing 15 under the limit, applies the brakes* I know this is an old post but literally none of these things, especially the "guns the throttle" bit matter on a mid-sized motorcycle. Someone in a rav4 decided to be a giant douche for a while and try to block me once (on a mostly empty out of town highway). I think he hit almost 100 before I finally decided to get away from him. It was p.cute. Consider less wheels is what I'm saying to all you commutegoons

my favorite part of my usual commute is how the interstate exit for my neighborhood is also an entrance with only about 400 yards from entrance point to exit point. and is also immediately after the interstate reduces from four lanes to three. more often than not i actually end up taking the prior exit and then hopping back "on" to the interstate (but not merging out of the entrance/exit lane at my actual exit) because it's faster than crawling behind the mile-plus-long line of cars backed up in the right lane

Literal one-minute commute here. I'm stuck waiting to turn onto a road longer than I am on that road. I'll be thinking of you, commuter goons, an hour into my shift when you've still not yet made it to work.

Thankfully I have a car but nowhere to go. My local bus is a looneybin on wheels, maybe I should gopro a ride at rush hour, but it wouldn't include the odors.
