How far/long is your commute?

My commute is 3 minutes on my bike since I've moved :)

I used to commute to the same job 3 different ways (times are each way):
- Bus - 45 mins
- Car - 25 mins
- Bike - 30 mins

I would never do the bus route again. Car was ok although the road sucked and was incredibly tedious. Bike was fine apart from the very windy/soggy days.

If I was to move jobs, my limits would probably be:
- Bus - never
- Car - 40 mins
- Bike - 30 mins
- Train - 45 mins (including getting to/from the station)

However, I'd want a massive salary jump if I were to need to commute, partly to cover the costs of transport, partly to cover the inconvenience.
 
8 minutes by train (3 stops) or a 12-15 minute 2.5km cycle. Big improvement over the 25 mile daily grind I moved away from.
 
About 19 miles each way, car takes me anywhere from 25 to 40 mins - I occasionally get the train which is about an hour door to door or train and bus which is about 45 mins door to door if I time it right, ends up costing a bit more than I'd like though.

Will possibly be changing to circa 35 miles each way in the not too distant future, will take me anywhere from 40 minutes to just over an hour
 
8 miles. 45-60 mins there. depends on what time I leave for time back, generally its longer than the commute to work.
I drive.
 
I spend part of the week at home so no travel/commute for those days, then once a week I'll drive the 150 miles to the office (takes on average 3 hours I'd say) and stay 1 or 2 nights there before driving back home.
 
30 - 35 miles each way - 60-70 mile round trip and about 40 minutes each way on a dead quite commute, just below an hour each way on a busier commute.
 
~20 mile round trip each day. Mostly slow moving traffic.
Longest return journey has taken was an hour, shortest about 25 minutes.

It's especially bad at the moment on the way to work as there's a jcb that likes to drive at 20mph for most of the way and there's only a few places you can safely overtake.
That and rubbish drivers who seem to think that going on a green traffic light is a life-choice that doesn't apply to them, make what, at any other time of day bar 'morning and evening rush hour', is an otherwise pleasant drive into a nightmare of stop/start/wait/wait/wait/start/stop/wait that drives me to despair (see my little punn? :( ).
 
20 miles as the crow flies.
Takes me 1.5 hours in to work, 1 hour back.
3 trains going in to work, 2 trains and a bus going home.

I don't mind it as I can watch tv, play games, listen to music and read comics on my tablet.
 
Both jobs combined probably around 15 miles total, although job 2 results in adding 200-300 miles a day to that number.

A friend of mine has to commute a whole 20 metres to his work place, he can literally roll out of bed into work.
