Anyone else commuting in rush hour traffic in NYC? Or anywhere else in the world? What's your commute like? How do you travel?

@Nick1 oh I totally can relate I understand absolutely. I used to drive to Uniondale Long Island from Brooklyn. It was crazy we left at 6:45 a.m. to get there at 9:00 sometimes we needed to leave at 6:15.
The worst thing is to work in the city and commute by express bus from Queens or any bus for that matter to get out of the city especially during United Nations week and the entire season of The Rockefeller Christmas tree. If there was a president or some type of funeral or parade event I would literally cry because I knew I wasn't going to get to work on time.
It is an absolute nightmare. And don't forget the impromptu snow storm that the city wasn't ready for I can really honestly tell you I spent 7 hours on a bus in a small snow squall inching my way across 6th Ave

@BamPow I've been to Chicago many times. I remember being there for 2 weeks and commuting with my friend because we worked for the same company . There were mornings that were fabulous and then there were the nightmares I never saw so many lines of traffic

@LaLumieri I lived and worked there for decades and never learned any patterns. I’ve been stuck in bumper to bumper at 2am before but also zipped through at 4pm. Calling Chicago traffic quirky would be an understatement.

@fun4us2b I remember those cars I've been riding the subway for years to I don't ride them anymore... I take the buses. But I do remember the old cars I commuted to high school back in the '80s. I remember all the graffiti and the lacquered seats. I remember the Keith Haring artwork ... I used to listen to The Bangles on the one train heading into Lincoln center for school.

@BiasForAction That's a great commute. I've done that a few times. Actually it's kind of relaxing

@LaLumieri it’s the best commute I’ve had in my career I used to drive in

@BiasForAction Good for you. I prefer to take a city bus to a private bus that gets me to my suburb away from the big tall buildings.... A nice quiet air conditioned comfortable bus

@SunshineGirl I wish I could walk to work Good for you I hope it's a nice walk

@LaLumieri 10 mins is in the company of my daughter (en route to her school) so it is a very nice walk 🙂

@SunshineGirl That's a beautiful way to start the day

@Ramrod okay I want your commute you win lol. I guess because I have lived in New York my whole life and worked in New York City for most of it it's kind of taken its toll on me. There are some great things about it I don't want to discourage you from coming here but then again trudging through it everyday even for the 5 minutes I have to get from one bus to the next It can be very frustrating. I absolutely crave small town life.

@LaLumieri That is something i have never experienced taking a bus or train in a big city like NYC.
