Morning: 50 min on foot, or 35-50 min by bus. If the cops would just bother to enforce the parking lots^H^H^H I mean bus lanes it could be 25-30 min consistently.
Evening: 30-75 min by bus or half/half walking/bus. When it's long most of the time is spent waiting for a bus with a ridiculously infrequent and poorly thought out schedule, aggravated by bunching. (Poorly thought out as in two buses scheduled within 5 min of one another and then no buses for half an hour, repeatedly. It's mystifying.)
I'm in consultancy so it changes from time to time. Currently it's about 2 hours one way in the AM, 2 to 2 hours and 15 minutes in the PM. That's 4 hours a day. 20 hours a week. I hate it.
The company won't let me work from home.
5 min walk to the bus, one bus stop then hopping on the subway for 20 min, luckily I don't have to change so I can just relax for those 20 min. Then a 10 minute walk to the office.
Not too bad at all for living in a nice suburb of Stockholm.
Since you are in Stockholm, I'd like to ask: is it feasible to commute by bike in winter?
My impression was that Stockholm is pretty small compared to other capitals, and also well connected with bike lanes. But I visited during summer I don't know about the situation in winter.
There are a lot of people who bike all year. Though less than in spring-autumn.
You probably need/want winter tires for your bike and it may be cold but sure, it is possible. The bike lanes are usually cleared quickly when it snows.
For me the biking distance would be 14km or so. A bit further than I personally want to bike but not an uncommon biking route.
Average about 2.5 hours total: 45 minutes x2 for the Caltrain to and from the South Bay, and another 60 minutes of biking to and from the train station. This is at a cost of $190.80/month for the Caltrain monthly pass.
12 minutes via car each way - about 5 miles. Have been considering biking to work and home but there was quite a bit of road construction this year - maybe next year (snow will be here soon)
With skytrain, around 20 minutes if I go after the morning rush. Looking to get a bike to get it down to some 5 minutes or less, although the traffic is dangerous.
By public transportation: 45 minutes each way ± 10 for vehicle delays, since the system I use is inefficient. Good time to read and listen to podcasts, though.
zero commute now. But to share, I used to commute 2.5 hours ONE way daily (Car + Bus combo). Yea, don't ask. I did it for almost 2 years. Job was good, money was good except for that commute. Now I work for myself from where ever I want :)
