1) How do you commute to work?
2) How far?
The short route is 10.5 miles.  I typically take the freeway which
makes it closer to 15 miles.  Occasionally I'll bicycle there and
back, taking different 10.5 or 13.5 mile routes.

3) How long does it take in each direction?
20-30 minutes by car, 30-50 minutes by bike

4) If you don't use public transportation, IS there a public
transportation alternative?  How long would THAT take?
The last time I looked into it, the bus takes about 2 hours (minimum)
and not at a time convenient to when I need to get here and leave from
here.
