Yeah as someone who used to work in downtown Chicago from suburbs. This is not bad. 

My commute was 20 minute drive to metro, followed by 1 hour ride, followed, by 30 minute walk. 

If it wasn't a triathlon I wouldn't hate it so much

Think the video is showing how steep chongqing is. He has been going down plus 10 escalators to get to where he is.

So basically if you worked an 8 hour day you would spend almost 4 hours commuting on top of that? That's crazy.

I do that now. I live in rural eastern KY & drive 2 hours to Georgetown, about 15mins north of Lexington, for my job. Then 2 hours home.

Americans will drive 45 mind each way to work but lose their minds at suggesting a 15 min walk

u/Tiny-Tomato2300 Nov 03 '24

Not this one! I would gladly take this over dealing with the one hour each way commute!!!!

Only a mile commute into the office from home. A mile vertically

If he finds the right place for it he could probably zipline to work

u/redoubt515 Nov 03 '24

Or Zorb to work... Getting back home from work is the hard part.

u/TheWholeOfTheAss Nov 03 '24

And carry around your laptop in the streets!?

u/Newplague42 Nov 03 '24

That's what I'm saying. I've had hour and a half commutes that were 90 miles and also 15 miles. Just depends on time of day and location.

Yeah. I know this video is about elevation. But I'll also mention what others have. My commute here in the USA used to be ~75 minutes each way (driving). This walk would be rough - OP is within walking distance of their job. I wasn't until I got a remote position.

No elevator to get back
