How many miles do you drive to work each day?

Published

I drive 30 miles to work one way-For a total of 60 miles. With the rising costs of gas, how far is too far to drive and how many total miles do you drive each day?

Specializes in Surgical/Telemetry.

It would be about 25 miles, but the hospital provides free transit passes, so I take a bus + train trip. It's free, and I kind of just get to sit back and relax after work. Tons of other hospital ppl on the same commute, so it feels relatively safe.
