Tell Us: How Bad (Or Not) Is Your Commute?

Earlier this month, area Patch.com websites asked readers in their respective towns about their commutes – something the Boston area tends to be notorious for.

We started off asking readers on the Wakefield Patch Facebook page about their commutes, and several folks offered some insight. For example, Jennifer Quadrozzi told us it takes her about an hour to get to Wellesley in the morning, and about two hours to get home. “Terrible,” she said.

Anu Gerweck reported her commute is “pretty sweet,” at a relatively modest 40 minutes via the commuter rail with a short walk from there.

Closer to home, a reader named “Hammerhead Kelly” cited the “Major Suckage” of having the 136 inbound MBTA bus arrive only every 70 minutes.

Personally, the best commute I ever had was a 10-minute walk through early morning in a New Hampshire town. The worst was attempting to get to and from Burlington from Salem on Route 128 day after hellish day - perhaps not coincidentally, right before I left the state for a few years. So with that – How’s your own commute these days? Are you one of those lucky few who works out of the house or works locally? Or do you enjoy a “reverse commute” north of here? Or do you pretty much just grit your teeth and slog through the gridlock?
