Mine is just about an hour and five minutes, but it includes about 20 minutes of walking (15 to the Metro, then 5 from the Metro to my building) and 45 minutes on the train. I get in some exercise at least!

My commute is 2 miles. About 6 minutes most days. And I drive a hybrid. Lol

My commute is 5 minutes, just crossing the street and walking a half-block. I am so very grateful that I am spared the gruesome agony of driving on these gridlocked roads twice a day.
