Re: Working ladies, what's your commute?
US: When DH and I lived in Texas, we worked fairly close to each other so we would drive in together most days (I taught HS social studies). Total commute time was about 50 minutes to 115 minutes, depending on lovely Houston traffic.
UK: I will be a SAHM, unless I am able to find something at the international school in Aberdeen. DH commute will be about a 20 minute walk. He can either take public transportation, or cycle too. (He told me last night he is very excited for our furniture shipment to arrive because he might try roller blading to work...)
We plan on buying a car in the near future as well. We have no idea what kind of car to get at this point and there is no rush.
DH and I are back in Seattle and back to the commute. We live in the burbs and he has a bout a 3 mile 10-15 minute commute that he drives.
I am working in downtown Seattle again so mine is another story. My commute is about 20 miles and takes roughly 50 minutes in total each way. I drive 3 miles south from my house and park at a park and ride and take the bus from there. The bus ride is about 35 minutes. Then I get off and walk a quick 2 blocks to my office. My work pays for my bus pass. The park and rides are actually so popular where I live that I could take one bus (about 10 min) later and still get to work on time but after 7am you can't find parking. I technically start work at 8 but I always get in by 7:45. My boss knows the situation so while she can't officially change my hours due to upper management she does let me leave early sometimes.
When we lived in England DH and I carpooled and it took about 20 minutes by car. In England his employeer provided the car and paid for his fuel and insurance. Public transportation wasn't a good option because the office was outside of the city and to use the bus would have taken almost an hour vs 20 min in the car.
DH takes a cab or hitches a ride with a friend, and depending on traffic, it's about 20-30 minutes.
