Joco, about 6-10 minutes depending on traffic, which there is usually none.

Almost always take the bus (!!!!) which picks me up right outside my building and drops me off a block away from my office.  There are two busses that do this, but they take slightly different routes and the difference is usually only 5 minutes.  I take the first available either way.  Usually about a 40 minute trip to and from. 

During baseball season, I try to keep an eye on the Cubs home schedule, as that adds a ton of traffic to the bus route and adds another 45 minutes or so to my trip home.  Hour and 15 - hour and a half to travel 4 miles.  So frustrating.  So on Cubs home games, I take the train and just hoof it for the .7 mile walk from the train stop to my place.

I bet your KC friends are horrified when you tell them about this.  :lol:

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

They're talking about Italian restaurants in KC. (White) People in KC aren't terrified of the bus anymore?

What do you guys listen to on your commute? (Local radio, XM, audiobook, etc.)

I usually listen to XM. Hits 1, Faction, or Caliente channels.

My commute is not too bad right now.  It's about 15 miles and it takes about 25 minutes.

I guess I knew that given the location of the majority of this board's posters it would be mostly driving, but I'm still surprised there aren't more walk/bike/public transit people.

I listen to podcasts, and when I'm waiting for new episodes, I'll listen to my Spotify discovery playlist.

Time of day can almost double my commute time. If I leave the house by about 7:00am is is 20 minutes, but if I leave after 7:15 it's closer to 40 minutes. Also, there's a bunch of construction on my way now with no good way around it.  :shakesfist:
kellogg/west st?

Nope. I-235/Zoo Blvd.
This 15 - 20 min drive everyday makes me irrationally angry when I get to work.

I've been thinking about getting a moped for mine. I would have to be a much better cyclist than I am to ride a bike to work.
