|
| Californians have the 10th longest commute times in the country, according to reports. Americans spend an average 23.7 minutes getting to work. More than three-quarters of them drive alone, nearly 1 in 10 carpool and 5% take public transportation. Californians are less likely to drive alone, although 73% do, and are more likely to carpool (11.4%) or ride public transit (5.2%). The report was prepared by California Watch.

Posted by BART commuter, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Nov 8, 2012 at 9:42 am Try 1.5 hours each way, in my case... It would be 20 minutes shorter if I drove to the BART station instead of biking, but since the parking lot is full by about 7:45, and you can't park in any of the businesses in the surrounding area...
I'm screwed either way, because traffic is bumper to bumper in the westward direction when I leave the house. I prefer BART to driving because at least I can read on the train.

Posted by Beckie, a resident of Livermore, on Nov 8, 2012 at 7:24 pm 23.7 minutes? where the hell they get that? maybe it meant to say 2.3 hours. 23 minutes doesn't even get you from Livermore to dublin on 580 on a good day in morning commute traffic.
