How does your daily commute to work look like? (self.asklemmy)

I'm assuming that most of you are from the US so probably using cars, but lemme know if you use trains, subways, buses, etc.

Me? Back when I was doing an internship I walked to a nearby station for 10 minutes then transited to another train line, which could be an instant or 20 minutes wait. After that I walked for 10 minutes to my work place. So it was probably about 40 minutes of commute. Of course, I live in tropical country so I'm drenched in sweat as I arrive in the office.

Fortunately every year my city's public transportation seems to get better and as a result I barely needed to use cars.

Live in the northern US and bike 3 miles to work. Icy right now so I have studded tires and bar kits. I wear a ski facemask and skip the glasses cause they fog. Bike light since it's easy to work past sunset this time of year. Even when it was -30F I only wore one hoody (biking is hard work). Takes me around 15 minutes which is the same as driving. There's bike paths 90% of my commute but I still almost get ran over at every other cross walk. Besides the danger, one of the best things I've ever done for my mental health. And I'm not even the road rage type. I just enjoy the ride
