- Where do you live?
Sacramento, CA
- What transportation means do you and your spouse use to get to/from work?
I drive/dh does not work/commute. Kids go to preschool rather near my work and older one will walk to school come fall, so not a lot of driving there either.
- How far away are your workplaces?
About 12 miles - just me.
- How much time on average do you and your spouse spend to get to your jobs and back?
half hour round trip.
Boy, with the kids? IT's a lot more. MAybe 70 minutes round trip. It's really only 5-10 miles further out, but the traffic can be more of a nuisance during the peak times. I think it is more lights than anything (preschool is miles off the freeway).
There are maybe 2 lights beween home and job on the other hand - all freeway - so my commute alone is quite simple. Phew. On the weekends it takes me exactly 12 minutes each way (no other cars to contend with).
**Walking, biking and public transport not an option since I value my life.
** Fine options if I lived or worked in other parts of the city. But glad I have a short commute - driving solo really seems to be the best bet. We have a new employee starting Monday and believe my first question though will be, where do you live??? I'd seriously consider a carpool if it made any sense.
