From: Legacy and Alma area in Plano
To: Lamar st (downtown Dallas)
Time: 26 minutes left at 6:10am arived at work at 6:36am.

5 minutes - from Richardson Heights to "downtown" Richardson.

Hard to beat that!

Today, I am telecommuting from home. So my commute time is 0 mins today. Might work from home tomorrow too.

However, I do usually drive down to work, NE Richardson to SW Garland. Here my one-way times:
Usual Time: ~15-20 mins
Fastest Time: ~11 mins
Longest Time: 30-40 mins (heavy traffic, bad weather, etc).

We just moved to Frisco and I commute to Downtown Dallas and it takes about 40 minutes most days. Sometimes it takes a little less. Today it took me 36 minutes. I am glad that I got to work before that bad wreck at the DNT and 635. Heard traffic was backed up pretty bad.

Yes, I do know someone that does and it takes them well over an hour.

Mckinney to Arlington is a very long drive, its almost 60 miles! Though I don't drive it, I easily estimate it being 1 hour to 2 hours with traffic.
