I have to go downtown for a rehearsal, and it’s raining. Austin loses its mind when it rains. 57 minutes to go 16 miles, with a 40-minute delay on Loop 1. On a day with no traffic , this drive takes about 17 minutes. Looks like I’ll be leaving early.

Lol that’s a normal day in LA. My commute is 20 miles and I’m lucky if it takes less than an hour.

That looks like my usual commute home every night. Both time and distance. Frankly I’d be happy to see it estimate 46 minutes.

That’s not horrible. Occasionaly my 13 mile commute takes an hour, because thousands upon thousands of people are forced to be force fed down a two lane with poorly timed lights to get to the interstate.

Houston is even worse. Just in dry weather it takes me 40 minutes to travel 11 miles. ;_;

Miles per minute sounds close to yours though.

And this is exactly why the city of Austin can go fuck itself.

Besides the shitty gentrification, the shitty road conditions, the shitty maintenance, the shitty heat, and those motherfucking goddamn cicadas oh my fucking gods no wonder you’re all completely fucking insane.

I come home from rehearsal after 10 pm, and I’d prefer to take MoPac. But after what, 8 years? They are STILL WORKING ON THAT FUCKING ROAD. This evening, the toll going south was more than $8 to go from Parmer to Cesar Chavez. They spent all that damned money and all that time and it’s clear that that idiotic managed lane was NEVER meant to ease traffic congestion and was ALWAYS meant to be a money maker.

Sorry for the rant. I’m just pissed about it.

Its fucked. I’ve had to do a few late night (like 10pm) projects on a weekday, and an  hour crawl because of construction downtown > 183...
