Commute to work - how long?

[Merlin]

I used to commute 90+ minutes each way ...

I got you beat by a little 
I used to do 1 hour 45 minutes each way (most of the time) 

short walk to the subway 
take subway to Penn Station 
from there take  LIRR (Long Island Railroad) to Mineola, Long Island
then take bus from train station to office complex 
short walk to office 

but sometimes coming home ... 
run from office to bus stop 
DAMN, missed bus -- wait 30 minutes for next one or call taxi to train station
DAMN, missed train --- wait 30 minutes for next train 
arrive at Penn Station 
take subway 
short walk home walk

When I was commuting to the south bay/silicon valley, it was similar for me...

1. drive 20 minutes to the train station
   
2. wait for the train (0-30 min, depending on timing and parking options)
   
3. get off the train and walk to the bus stop (5 min)
   
4. wait for bus to office complex to arrive (0-20 min)
   
5. short walk to the office (2 min)
   

If everything aligned (no traffic issues, timed the train and bus correctly) then I could get to work in about 90 minutes door to door. On bad days it could be well over two hours door to door. If I missed the train, it was at least a 30-minute wait until the next one. Coming home if I missed the train it was 60 minutes until the next one since the stop for my office wasn't a primary stop.

I could also drive the whole way. That could get me to work in 60 minutes if traffic was on my side, but traffic usually added at least 30 minutes, and by the time I got to work I was stressed out and no fun to be around. The train takes a bit longer but was usually much less stressful.

I hated that commute.
