Commute?

Original post by flairforfashion

Just curious- what is your daily commute to work?

I am asking because DH and I live in Hicksville and I commute to Melville everyday which isn't bad.

Now, word is that we may be moving our office to Hauppauge.

Thought of that is not appealing to be AT ALL!

That would be roughly a 30-45 minute commute depending on traffic on such. Now I think we should move to Smithtown or something. Ugh, why?????????

About a 20-30 minute drive to work. (With traffic).

We picked a house closer to all major highways so DH commute is about 35 minutes...not too bad. I dont have a commute 5minutes....school is about 15 minutes.

1 hr door to door. 45 minutes on the bus and 15 minute walk or can subway it.

My job is 8 miles from my house but I have to come from NJ to NYC via Lincoln Tunnel the the not-so-express bus. I like commuting via mass transit though, its very relaxing!

ALSO I dont think Hauppauge to Melivlle is very far, its like 8 exits. Smithtown is much further too so I dont think thats any better!

We both work at the same place and our house is 1 mile from the office
Its very close, but we planned it that way

If you're going East, then the commute shouldn't be too bad. I used to do Seaford to Stony Brook and it took 45 minutes but there was barely any traffic.

see that's funny b/c i think the F takes longer because it stops at roosevelt island AND 21st queensbridge.

there will be nights that I go out near the 63rd & lex stop on purpose so i can 'get home faster' and all the turnstiles will be barred off bc the F just decides to stop running. ugh, hate the MTA.


snwb08 you and I must live in the same area. I take the train from 67th Ave. and I work down on Pine St. I usually take the R to Rector or the R to Times Square and then take the 2/3 to wall st.

Espo you're not too far from where I work either.

Commuting downtown is crazy, my commuting time isn't much shorter than when I go to LI and I actually have a much better ride to LI.

THe trains have been going sooo slow especially in the evening this week...sometimes I just want to scream.



speaking of horrible trains, i was on the A today and it stopped so short we went flying, the brakes went out. We then had to pull into the station bc couldnt stay in the tunnel and omg the whole way was go very little then stop very short, it kept doing this. There was a pregnant woman standing in front of me, i was so worried for her and was prepared to catch her just in case lol. Of course had to get off the freaking train bc of mechanical problems

Are you right by the WTC?

Before I got married: 10 minutes each way....
After: 25 minutes
Not bad esp since I leave before the real rush hour (I have to be at work by 7:30)...I sooo miss my ten minute commute tho

Yeah that's what time I start work so I think that's why it only takes about an hour and 15. It's early enough. In the afternoons it usually takes an hour and a half.
