Suburbia - Post Your Commute Time in Rush Hour

[Anonymous]

I feel like there is a lot of speculation on how long a commute is from certain suburbs. Post your town and your typical commute time. Include whether your driving, taking metro, or both.

Upper McLean - 45 min in rush hour (driving).

I'm PP. If there's an issue on Canal Rd, I buckle up and take sleeping pills because we're going to be there awhile.

Are you assuming people work downtown?

We live in Potomac (just north of Montgomery Mall).

Me: 7 mins to Rockville
DH: 15 mins to Bethesda

Shirlington (S. Arlington). 15 minutes driving to Foggy Bottom. About 45 minutes to 1 hour to bus.

Arlington, VA 12 minutes (driving); 18 minutes if I bike to work (to McLean/Tysons)

Vienna. An hour to foggy bottom.

Some of these posted times are clearly wishful thinking--or not truly rush hour.

No freaking way, unless you're leaving before 6 am after 9 pm. More like an hour to an hour and a half each way

Agreed. When we lived in Potomac, a realtor swore to us that he could make it downtown in 30 min. My husband's commute to DC was more like an hour during rush hour; 30 min was only during off hours.
