Threshold about.... 1 hour I said? Use to drive to Richmond everyday on knight bridge during rush hour.... LOL | one thing about knight street bridge is that it keeps moving. even if its 1km/hr unlike some other bridges...
did the commute from Broadway and Rupert to Shell and Cambie business complex. 35-45 minutes for 2 years.

SW Marine dr closure added at least 20min each of my ways, because 41st turned into parking, everyday, day or night! 
what is up with closing all SW neighborhood, including 49th?
They went hard core to keep out non locals from detouring around that neighborhood.
windshield decals for local traffics, and putting VPD road checks at every major intersections.
Rich folks there really doesn't want too many traffics in their precious neighborhood?

I seldom go west of the Fraser, that really hit home like why the fuck our we even out this way, I hate this fucking place and this traffic can suck my dick. My 11 year old was the voice of reason, Dad calm down we'll go the long way it's fine if we're late. Lol, not one of my better moments.

ahh...the voice of reason
still have yet to experience that burning rage of being stuck in a jam in Vancouver
I went out to lunch with my parents in South Van this weekend, late lunch too...and I thought it was gonna be a breeze
but nope
literally took me 15 minutes from my door in PoCo to Grandview exit
then 30+ fucking minutes from there to 45th and Fraser
fuck Vancouver sideways

Near coquitlam center to just over the 2nd narrows bridge, taking the barnet and hastings in HOV.
takes about 20-25mins to get to work, we leave at 6:20am
I leave work around 3:30pm, and we generally head straight to our gym near silvercity coquitlam right around 4pm. thankfully i'm the first exit to get onto the highway forming from dollarton so I don't have to deal with main street

HOME TO WORK?

TRANSIT or CAR?
...and in your opinion, where is 'YOUR' threshold? i.e. if it takes more than an hour, it isn't worth it to me. |
Home to work - 35 to 45 mins
Work to Home - 35 to 45 mins
If there is an accident then I stay at work doing extra work unless there's an errand I can run near my work or try to do last minute meet-up with friends nearby.
Car
There is no threshold for me. The only place I can afford is where I reside and I commute to a job I like and works out with my lifestyle choices.

Argyle & 57th, Vancouver to Lougheed & 207th, Maple Ridge
Car
Morning:
Leave home at 6:55am (+/- 5mins), arrive at work 7:40am (+/- 5mins)
Afternoon:
Leave work at 5:00pm (+/- 5mins), arrive at home 6:00 (+/- 5mins)
Been doing it for 9 1/2 years. Quite the improvement after Hwy. 1 and the Pitt Meadows Bridge was upgraded. Prior to that it was quite a bit more.

Victoria & 49th to Willingdon & Canada Way area.
Morning: ~20 minutes
Afternoon: ~25-30 minutes
+/- 5 mins or so, usually less as I'm at work by 7am, off at 3pm, so I beat most of the traffic. If I get stuck past 3, then 30-40 mins back home.
During the snow? +1hr. I've had to backtrack to Royal Oak before to avoid the traffic snarls.

Did Coquitlam around Austin and Mariner to Richmond Hospital, usually have to leave at 645am to get in just a bit before my start at 8, unless there are any accidents. Coming home at 430pm, initially took about 50 minute when we first moved to Coquitlam 2.5yrs ago. Then it hit an hr, then 1:15-1:30 even 1:45 if there is even a hint of rain on the ground. My love of the job masked how bad the commute was, I left after 3 years and the commute was a part of that decision.
I work in East Van now, commute time is typically 35- 40 minutes both ways. Don't like the job as much, but I can't imagine going back to the old commute.

1 hour each way. If there is any kind of back up (accident, inclement weather, speed trap) it can easily double | |

An hour and a half each way. Hopefully I can purchase a car soon to cut the commute in half.
