Before the pandemic I had a 40 minute car ride to work and to be honest, I kind of miss it! it was a great time to relax, listen to some music, unwind and just prepare for the next day. It also helped keep that separation between work and home. Now, just like so many else I’m just a few steps away from work every morning. I mean thats not terrible either, you get to make your own office with your own hardware allowing you to put it together in a way the suites you! ---

Pre-pandemic, I was either on-premise at clients or at the office. If at clients, it would mostly be by car to the nearest Gautrain station, then Gautrain to the closest station, and then either by foot or Gautrain bus to the client. If I had to grace my colleagues with my presence at the office (yeah, right hahaha!) I’d take my car since public transport is not the greatest in South Africa. I’d cycle to work if I could, but we do not have the fantastic facilities like those which Alexander Sommer has access to. Can’t say I’m missing the commute, at all!! Love working from home and dreading the day things go back to normal, which will hopefully never happen completely 😅 ---

I commute to work by train. The train takes only 20 minutes even though I live just outside the city, so including walking time it takes me around 40 minutes. I quite like the ride, and some times I even had more time for my audiobook or podcast episode 😁 Can’t believe you plant a flower for every answer - what a nice idea! ---

I have planted one of my favorite flower plant today. This will be my Community _Pelargonium_: ![AntonioSousa_0-1653421359909.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/5/a/5afd6fd5a154fea77641786cd1b7ed73e1150e68.jpeg) I have been doing propagation with cuttings, and it seems that _Pelargoniums_ are quite easy to propagate. Let’s see if I didn’t leave to many leafs… It’s my second this year, because I already have a lot of them. This Community one is derived from my most beautiful _Pelargonium_, also because it has some nice Dynatrace color: ![AntonioSousa_1-1653421536571.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/9/94c8831a753d5179b23620da69233935044d3455.jpeg) ---

Another Harley guy here. 70km round-trip to downtown Toronto - averaging 7L/100km. Toronto allows free street parking for motorcycles and we’re allowed to use the HOV lanes. I’m looking forward to our return to the office next month (% basis). ![311E720B-5053-41E9-82EF-B09BB8E6E7E7.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/1/16972ec7700ae3e9a4c48971a64b1bfa01269ce2.jpeg) ---

Haha! 😂 I think many people fell in love with remote work during the pandemic 😉 Looks like you use many ways of commuting, Andre! Nice diversification! ---

If it where up to me no 😉  But I don’t think it will go back to nearly as much traveling as before. I’m not really sad as it saves a lot of time and is a lot more flexible remote, though a bit of traveling again would be nice. ---

High five, [@AntonioSousa](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/17213)! 🖐 I’m in the office 5 days a week, got back in June 2020 already when they opened the doors to Dynatrace labs for selected groups of employees - meaning those with no good conditions to work from home (be it equipment or kids 😉). I rarely use car (don’t have an electric one), so in 90% of the cases it’s my bike, the other 10% is either train or car 😊 ---

Fantastic! Around 80 kilometers of the trip to and back from work sounds like a perfect opportunity to enjoy the motorbike season as much as possible! 😎 ---

Not a big bike expert at all, but your machine looks fantastic - like a perfect for long trips around forests, rural areas, or city alleys! ---

Sometimes public transport is a perfect area to catch up with the stuff we don’t have time to read at home! But as you say, sometimes it’s simply not possible to use it as frequently as we’d like… ---

Totally agree! Some 25 years ago, I had an hour commute, each direction… I would have a stack of magazines (anyone remembers Byte, for instance?) and read a lot! Although I’m an Internet user since 1991, magazines were still influential during about more 10 years. Today, it’s even easier, and not only in public transportation. I normally hear podcasts on my car commute, things like “Pure Performance” :dynaspin: [Previous page](https://community.dynatrace.com/t/take-the-commuter-challenge/35175.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.dynatrace.com/t/take-the-commuter-challenge/35175.md?page=3)
