I'd say 30-40 minutes is typical here, but hour-long commutes are common too. People rationalize "it's no big deal" when they're job searching, and find out later that it adds up to years in the car, by the end of the career. Two people in my group of about 20 at work commute over 3 hours per day.
I'd say 99% driving though.
