[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these posts are laughable. They're either not truly rush hour, or they are ideal times vs average, or they aren't counting door to door, or they aren't counting waiting times (e.g., at Metro platform).

I live in CCDC and during actual rush hour (9am), now that RCP is closed for much of my route, door to door (including parking my car in my work garage, waiting for the elevator, and walking the 1.5 blocks to my office)--30 minutes. Ideal time: just under 25. When there's a backup--up to 45. When some idiot truck driver gets his tractor trailer stuck under a bridge on RCP--1.5 hours.[/quote]

+1 For this thread to be useful, posters should post approximate starting point and end point, and include waiting and walking time (from home to metro, parking lot to office etc.).  For example, my "time on the metro" is about 20 minutes, but when you add in waits for the metro, to/from home and office time, it's more like 40 minutes.[/quote]

+1.  Door to door times would be most accurate.  For example, my door-to-door time from Shepherd Park (DC) to my office is about 45-50 minutes (walking to metro, 18-20 min on red line, 8 min walk to office from Farragut North).[/quote]

+1 It takes me about 45 minutes  via metro (door to door) from Bethesda metro to my office in Farragut North (12 minutes walk,2 minutes of wait, 22 minutes in train, 9 min to the office).  My colleague who takes the metro at shady grove was telling someone he has a commute of 30 minutes. Why? Because he was only counting the time on metro--not the time driving to/from the metro station or walking to our office.  His commute is more like an hour.[/quote]

My colleague at work doesn't include the 10 minute drive to and from the metro as part of his commute, because his wife picks him up and drops him off and he considers it leisure time he spends with her.    People use funny commuting math.[/quote]
