Comments on: What’s the Worst Commute From Decatur? http://www.decaturmetro.com/2013/04/09/whats-the-worst-commute-from-decatur/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Sat, 02 Nov 2013 16:34:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Allison http://www.decaturmetro.com/2013/04/09/whats-the-worst-commute-from-decatur/#comment-377217 Allison Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:23:32 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=26827#comment-377217 I love my one-mile walk from home to the square, then my 20 minute shuttle ride to my office building. I listen to NPR news or audiobooks while I’m walking and riding, and I knit while I’m on the bus. And then I do it again in reverse at the end of the day. Even when the weather is bad I love it–having the right shoes and a good umbrella helps!

His commute is about 25 mins in the morning and 40-45 in the afternoon. Mine is about 40-45 minutes in the morning and the same in the afternoons.

I did take Marta a few times (we’re walking distance to the East Lake station) when my office was RIGHT nextdoor to the Medical Center stop. Took about 45-50 minutes. Now my office moved by about a mile so I would need to do a shuttle between my office and Marta (comes every 10-15 minutes). Not worth it IMO now.

I then moved to telecommuting, which is easy except for the little people who are underfoot. In August, I’ll be heading to Kennesaw twice a week. That won’t be pretty!

But a decade ago, I had a 2hr door to door commute to my job in midtown-Manhattan (via car, bus, and walking). I can handle Kennesaw, I think.

What’s the active part, the pastry bar or the 500 calorie frozen coffees with whipped cream on top?

I find going Downtown first then swinging up to the Westside on Marietta St/Howell Mill a lot faster than going through Midtown.
