How long is your commute and £££?

I travel 2 hours each way 4 days a week. From Banbury to London, it's a killer and is over £5.5k a year :(

I had three years of driving 45 miles each way, then thirteen years of driving 60 miles each way followed by 4 years of driving 30 miles each way. Prior to that, I was on the road doing around 200 miles/day travelling to customer sites. I've done my fair share of commuting :)
 
currently, about 15 minutes and free either on bike or tram

normally 20 miles 15 of which are nice dual carriageway and the final 5 are a melee of horrible traffic, if you get caught at the wrong time it's the difference between 5 minutes cruising through and 45 minutes stuck in a 3 mile queue of traffic waiting for basically every train in the country to pass by the crossing.
 
Most of my jobs have involved a 15 mile or 30 minute commute, last personal car I had was a Lexus IS300 so fuel cost was about £50 a week. I wouldn't want to do a daily drive for longer to the same place. Furthest job was a 45 min drive and I felt that a bit more than I'd like.

Now I cover around 2000 miles per month across the country, but some days I can be from home or a 40 minute drive to the office, luckily I don't pay for the fuel or servicing/tyres.
 
About 1.5 miles, I drive it everyday as I am terribly lazy and it means I get a longer lie in,
Takes anything from 4 - 15 minutes depending on traffic
 
About 20 feet from my bed to my office :)

Not sure I can match @Feek's 12 seconds though, my commute includes a mandatory diversion to the kitchen for food before work ;)
 
When I'm working from home about ten seconds downstairs. When I'm going to our European office it's a flight to Madrid and when I'm traveling to the office where I'm based and who pay my wages it's a long flight to San Francisco, typically about 20 hours door to door.
 
Train from Chippenham to Bristol every day, costs me £200pm, which is roughly 6% of my earnings before tax, about 9% after
 
About 45 min to an hour drive, each way. cost me around £1800 a year I think.

Previous commute was about a 8 min drive, I do miss this a lot, especially when I think I spend nearly a whole working day a week driving now.

They know already and also know I am not going to be a key holder. I have been bitten by that in my last job :)

Good man :D

Place I worked at years ago had a dodgy alarm system and the poor woman who was made a key holder spent pretty much every weekend having to go in and turn the alarm off. That taught me never to do it.
