1. Car - approx 10 minutes
2. Bike 12-20 mins
3. Skateboard - approx 25 mins
4. jogging - approx 30 mins
5. bus - approx 45 mins. It takes two routes and a long wait at the transfer.

To and from work, the car wins by about 15 minutes. But, I manage 3 locations. Traveling between them, it's the bike hands down. I don't do it because it's the fastest, I do it because I like it.

Drive: 15-20 minutes (rarely 30 in bad traffic)
Bike: 45 minutes
Bus: 90-120 minutes (estimate since I've never done it for obvious reasons)

Despite the slower commute times, biking to work actually saves me time because I used to try to squeeze in a ride after work on weekdays. By the time I changed into bike clothes, got my gear together, rode, showered and dressed, it would take about 1:30 to 1:45 hours. That would tick off my wife, who likes to eat dinner earlier than me. By bike commuting, I save about an hour of free time in the afternoons -- and countless hassles with my wife.

Car, not an option
Bike, 50 mins
Bus 1.5 hours

1. Bus, about 40 min. door to door, including walks to/from bus stop.
2. Bike, about 40 min. ride time, plus change of clothes and shower at work.
3. Car (if I had one), between 25 min. and 90+ min, depending on traffic and how hard it would be to find parking anywhere near office. During my working hours it would likely be in the 60-90 min. range.

1. bike 18 mins
2. car 20 mins
3.bus - never taken it

reason my bike is faster cause I can siphon through Toronto traffic during rush hour. And if I drive i'm usually just stuck there going nowhere fast.

car: 20 min
bike: 40-50 min
bike to train: 40-50 min

Driving might be faster, but I've never tried it on a weekday. I don't even really think of it as an option for commuting in my case.

So it boils down to metro vs. bike. No contest.

1. Bike: 30/45 minutes with/without shower (Cost: free except for bike maintenance)

2. Walk or Bus then Metro: ~1 hour total and still arrive all sweaty in the hotter months anyway after the 15 minute walk to my office (Cost: $2.90 [$4.15 if I take the bus to the train] one way)

Public transportation is not an option for me as it is a royal PITA. I would have to spend either 1hour and 45 minutes on the bus, drive to the park and ride and then spend an hour and 10 minutes on the bus/light rail and then have to walk 10 minutes. So having said that.

If I drive by car or motorcycle it take from 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic and costs me to park. If I ride my bike it take from 45 minutes to an hour, plus I have to drive to the parking lot where I park for free and then ride. Of course I have to clean up and change clothes if I ride. I prefer to ride as it sets me up well for the day and the ride home lets me get rid of all the crap of the day. To me riding's pro's out weigh the cons. It is a 27.6 mile round trip not counting the 6 miles I have to drive to get to the bike trail. Riding the streets to the trail is not an option as it would add another 25 to 30 minutes each way because of all the traffic lights and hills. Might as well ride the bus if I did that.

i have to take a bus across the 520 bridge due to no bike/ped lane. luckily there are 4 different buses i can take (my office is really close to the microsoft campus so the local transit makes sure to head this direction). it's just over 6 miles from my house to the montlake bus stop, about 2 or 3 miles across the bridge, then about another 6 to the office from the first stop after the bridge. most mornings i get lazy and bike the first 6 miles to the bus stop, then take the bus almost all the way to my office, and bike the last mile. in the afternoon i maximize time on the bike.

morning: car - 30-35 min
bus/bike - 45-75 min depending on which bus i take, and how far i want to bike

afternoon: car - 45-75 min traffic is usually brutal
bus/bike - 60-75 min depending on how quickly a bus comes along

drive, if traffic is normal, who knows what each day will be
bike, atleast I know how long and it doesn't change
train, more expensive and still have to ride or bus
haven't tried bus, but think it would be longer, as they also get caught with the traffic.

Bike: 15-20 minutes
Subway or Bus: 25-35 minutes

Bike is faster for me primarily because the waiting for the bus or train includes some walking. With a bike I can ride to the front door and lock it to the bike post outside.

Car 10 minutes.
Bike 18 minutes.
Public transit-doesn't exist.

Bike is the fastest from April through November. Bike is the slowest in the winter when the roads are good. Bike/Train combo is about the same as a car. When the roads are bad, bike/train combo is probably the fastest even if I replace the bike part with running. A bike alone might be faster than a car in the snow unless it gets really deep.

Just getting out of downtown in a car during a snowstorm can take quite awhile.

From "roll out of bed" to "at my desk" driving is about 5 minutes faster than cycling. (I have to park a long walk from my office, but the bike rack is right next to the building.)

The only difference is when I drive, I get to eat breakfast with my wife.

Lots of options here, but cycling is by far the slowest.

Driving (before 6:00 a.m.) -- 15-20 minutes

During commute hours (and not counting the wait time for a bus, train, etc.):

kick scooter to subway (no bikes allowed) -- 30 minutes

bus -- 40 minutes

bike shuttle over bridge -- 40 minutes

casual carpool (free ride with a stranger) -- 45 minutes (depending on traffic)

bike to ferry -- 1 hour

bike to work -- about 7 hours (minimum of 75 miles, depending on route)

1 Car 35-45 mins for 35 km
2 Bike 70-80 mins for 28 km (but add up to 45 mins if I have to wait for ship passing through St Lawrence seaway locks)
3 Bus, 2 Metro lines, Bus 90-100 mins. About a third of the time is spent on the transfers. After the end of the evening rush hour the bus service is replaced by a taxi service which will take you to a major bus route with payment of bus ticket, and you have free tranfer to bus.

Car + bike: 0:50
Train + bike: 1:10
Car only: 1:30
Bike only: 1:30

The train doesn't go all the way to my work, nor does it start/end very close to my house, but it's not bad. My employer subsidizes my train pass, so it's cheap. By car, the last 5 miles to work (or first 5 coming home) is absolutely brutal. About 50 minutes for 5 miles. We have just one car, so I rarely use it to go to work. Most days, I do all bike, but sometimes I do bike + train.

Driving would usually be faster by 5 to 10 minutes than cycling. I can bike home in 19 minutes, and by car, I can do it in 10 if the stars and planets are aligned just right. Or, it can take more than an hour to go the same 4.7 miles by car. When that happens, and I'm trapped in the cage, it's a horrible experience, full of stress, anger, and a strong but unquenchable desire to not be in the car. These bad days might be anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 the time, but usually aren't predictable, whereas with the bike it's very consistent. We have bus service, which would be the slowest choice available, but no subway.

The consistent trip times are important to me, because I can make social plans. And, obviously, the sheer joy of cycling trumps all.

Despite my commute being only 3 miles the car is the fastest option (2 min faster), closely followed by the bike and waaaaaaaaay after that comes public transportation.
I commute by bike every day offcourse.

Times are:

car: 8 minutes
bike: 10 to 11 minutes
public transport : 30-40 minutes depending on waiting time.

Drive: 15-20 min
Bike: 25-45 min depending on route I select and weather (sub-zero temps and I get slow.)
Bus: Never tried it but probably in the 1.5-2 hour range. Our buses run their routes once per hour. I'd have to walk 1/2 mile to the nearest stop from my house and wait, then ride to the central station and catch a transfer. I could probably walk the whole 7 miles to work faster.

Biking is not the fastest option for me, but it is the most fun way of getting to work.

Unadjusted time:
Car: driving - 20 min
Bike: cycling - 25 min
Public transit: riding - 45 min

Adjusted time
Bike: cycling, changing, occasionally showering - 35 min
Public transit: riding - 45 min
Car: driving, going to gym instead of biking, working extra hours to pay for second car - 60 min

Driving: between 6 and 12 minutes. Costs $40 a month to park, so my better half drops me off and then drives on to whatever he has planned.
Cycling: between 12 and 20 minutes depending on conditions.
Bus: only did it once, I think it was 35 minutes once I actually got on it. Not a very direct route, it wanders all over the place looking for friends.
