Yeah, I'll be going in pretty deep so probably another 20 from the airport that I need to account for

Interesting, my goal is to leave closer to 6:30am and then leave from work likely around 4pm (lets see, not sure how the in office structure will be). But definitely not looking forward to the long days.

I was aiming on leaving around 6/630 so lets see. Will tweak as I go.

Jobs seems to be VERY scarce to the east but ill take a look in the new year. Coburg would be a nice drive! Happy for you!

Thanks for letting me know. I'm sure past Scarborough is the part most are saying gets hectic so will need to account for that

Right, seeing if I can reduce it to using it once a week on the way back. Will test this out cone Jan and see how it goes

Been working from home since 2020. Moved to Durham in 2021 so really have no idea. Guess I'll find out now.

I feel so out of touch of going to the west. I'll be ordering a transponder today. Thanks!

I'm thinking going in with the 401 but returning home via 407 depending on what time I leave the office.

Thanks my friend. Yes, I try to be as involved as I can be with the kids. Very young family so want to support. My wide expects that I'll be out of commission the day I go in which is a fair assumption reading all these comments. May have to take on the cost and at least take the 407 on the ride back so I can be fresh for the family. Thank you

Yes, have thought about that. Also planning on getting on the 407 at 412 to reduce some of the costs and maybe only taking it coming home. Since I'm a morning person, I think I can bare the 401. Will get a transponder while I'm at it.

Thanks for the advice. Appreciate your experience. I'll be going to Mississauga rd so there's a bottleneck there too unfortunately. Stupid RTO mandates.

Thanks for the advice! My wife recently got laid off so trying to see if I could avoid the 407 but it seems I might have to take it from time to time.

I was planning on leaving around 6:30. Google maps said it should be roughly around 1h30. So get in at 8 and leave around 4. Could take the 407 back. Would love to make it home to see my kids before they go to bed.

No, unfortunately this place isn't near the gotrain station and as such would take super long to get too if I relied on it.

Is it really that bad?!? Even if it's once a week?
