How long is your commute?

40+ minutes. I'm a big proponant of mass transit (rail, etc); however, the "wise" citizens of the {{sarcasm}} Great State of Oklahoma {{sarcasm}} scoff at the idea.
Unfortunately, while there is mass transit 1 block from my house that goes into Boston and then out to many, many parts of the metro area from there, none of the end points is anywhere near where I work, so I have to drive. On a typical day, it takes me anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour to go the 15.5 miles, door-to-door. If there's bad weather (rain or snow), it's often 1 to 1.25 hours, and it goes up from there. During one particularly bad snowstorm last year, when all the companies in Boston Metro let everyone out early, it took me 4 1/2 hours to get home. 
Less than 10-minutes.
Less than 10 seconds. I work at home.....and in my jammies as well!
Since I stopped doing wedding planning? About ten minutes to get to my part-time job.
Going to class takes 1.5hrs on the train alone. Of course, schedules are such that from the time I get on the train to the time I get back and off the train, it's about eight hours.

About an hour and a half, via two buses. Sometimes the connection is missed and I have to take a different second bus, like today, adding another 20 minutes.
It's cool, though. I could drive it in half an hour, but then I wouldn't get to read 100+ pages of TrekLit a day. :-)

About 20 min or so.
If I get the bus it takes me about 30 mins. If I walk it takes me about 45 mins. I like the walk in, I find it relaxing as I walk through nice parts of town mostly. I find the bus journey, particularly in winter, to be quite stressful. Still, the bus journey home is far worse since I'm in more of a hurry to get home - I could walk, and often do, but it's all up hill and takes about an hour.
About 20 minutes to a half an hour. Never had to worry about traffic, but if I did, it could get up to about 40.
About 15 minutes by bus, 30 minutes overall from home door to work door.
Anywhere from 15-30 minutes or longer, so I went with 20-40. On a good day, it takes me 15. On a typical day, maybe 20-25. I'm boned if there's an accident on the highway, though. That'll back shit up for an hour or longer.
It used to be about 15 - 20 minutes until last March when my company decided to move us across town to save money on office rent. Now my commute is around 45 minutes each way.
Unfortunately the way public transportation works in Denver, it would take me almost 2 hours each way if I took the bus or a combination of bus/light rail, plus I'd still have to drive several miles to a park n' ride since they shut down local bus service in my neighborhood.

Thirty miles, which takes me about 35 to 40 minutes. Lots of country highway driving involved.
