1. How do you get to work (car, truck, bike, bus, train, walk, etc)?
By car, whether I'm driving it or being dropped off. It's too far to walk or bike, and there are no trains or busses here.
2. how long does it take you to get to work (if you pool it, give the average amount of time the car is on the road, one way)?
About 10 - 15 minutes in a car.
3. If by car/truck, how many people go with you (if you carpool)?
Sometimes there's one person who is dropping me off then going to do their thing in town, sometimes there isn't.
4. If by car/truck, what brand/model?
Either the Buick or the Hyundai.

I drive my truck to work. It's an 8 minute drive (3 miles). I drive alone. It's a Ford Explorer SUV.
I drive to work. It's about 20 minutes. I pick someone up along the way about 1/2 the time. I drive a 1990 Nissan Axxess.
I'm moving to Toronto in July. I GUARANTEE that I won't be driving there!

My goal is to get a job at the same University where my husband works so I can take the train to work like he does. I am uncomfortable ethically with driving to work, but the alternative is 1.5 hours by bus plus a 20 minute walk each way.
1 I get to work by driving our truck. I would love to take public transit, but it would increase my commute time by a factor of about five to six, it would cost more than driving and it would be very inconvenient. If I could cut the time increase to 2 to 3 and have it be more convenient I'd take public transit. Bicycling would be good if we had a shower at work, but we don't. I'm not exactly pleased with the route I'd have to take to get to work, but I might start biking two or three days a week anyway.
2 It takes me 10 to 12 minutes to get to work and 15 to 20 to get home
3 I drive by myself, I get to work around 6:30 in an area without a lot of businesses, so car pooling isn't an option.
4 I drive a four cylander Toyota Tacoma with a shell on back. We regularly use it for hauling things around.

I take the bus. On rare occasions Mr. Tess drives me to work (like last week when I hurt my foot and could barely walk).
It takes ~40 minutes. This is ~5-7 minutes longer than it would take to drive downtown, park, and then get from the parking garage into the office. But when he drops me off, it only takes ~20 minutes.
On those days when he drives me, we take a 1998 Toyota Corolla.
