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.

Pre-pandemic I drove 15 minutes to the BART station, hopefully got parking. Walked 5 minutes to the train platform. Waited for train. 50ish minute train ride to downtown San Francisco. 10 minute walk to office. Pretty typical Bay Area commute.

Now, I take my dogs for a walk, get back home, make coffee, relax. Go upstairs and login to work. WFH is the new normal and it’s great.

50 min feels pretty long. How crowded is BART usually?

Where I got on, not too bad, I usually got a seat, but it quickly got crowded. Nowadays I hear it’s better; ridership hasn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels yet.
