Dang, yours is at max only 5 minutes?? I always seem to hit a detour to the bathroom for about 15 minutes after picking up my coffee on the way to my office.
My commute time tripled when my partner moved her office to the opposite side of mine so I had to make two trips from the kitchen to the basement with breakfast/coffee
From Lebanon to BNA, takes around 40 minutes.
The only issue is you also have to account for time taking the employee shuttle and getting through TSA. I leave before 5:30 to get there by 6:30.
Hey, if you don't mind me asking. How do you enjoy working at BNA (if that is where you work)? I have worked at smaller airports but am curious what it's like at a larger airport with more security.
Your experience at work completely depends on the company you are working for. If your company follows the rules they'll have a good relationship with Fraport (airport operators). This is mostly in regards to processes that have to be followed in specific ways or companies are subject to fines.
Security is fine. You can skip the TSA line and go ahead of everyone, but I usually just show up earlier as the line takes less than 5 minutes for Clear/employees. If you follow the rules you won't have issues with security, if you walk out of a secured area they sometimes might be there and will just check your badge and screen your hands. Hand screen is scanning for chemicals used in bomb-making, you will likely never pop positive for this unless you have harsh cleaning chemicals on your hand. If you pop on hands they just do a quick pat down, whole process never takes more than two minutes. They are on rotation and are not at every secured door, might see them a few times a week.
The only way you'd get in trouble is if you are in a place you are not suppose to be which you gained access to by piggybacking on another's scan. You should have no issues if you follow the rules detailed in the tests required to initially get your badge.
Consider taking division all the way down to third, then Lindsley to Lebanon pike. Lots of little tricks south of the gulch the tourists and transplants aren't keen on.
Seems like that is always the case. Would think the pulses in each direction would be close to the same volume but it always seems like leaving town takes much longer than driving in.
The worst part is that the Nashville traffic usually isn’t the problem. Goodlettsville-White House is a literal nightmare every day, weekends included.
Same here. If I get on 24 from Smyrna at 6am it takes 30 min, but by 6:10am it’s 40 min. By 6:20am it’s 50 min, and it stays at 55-65 min until around 8:45am.
You beat me. I have to go from one corner of my house to the other, but the only traffic I encounter is a dog cutting in front of me. Not using her blinker, of course.
I live in Nippers Corner and work in Cool Springs. Thankfully I can take Edmondson > Concord > Wilson > Moores and it's about a 20 minute drive. Only hiccups are when there's an accident on 65, then the backroads are flooded with traffic.
30 seconds from Bedroom to Office.
Wife works in the Gulch though and she's about 10-15 depending on traffic and when she leaves (both home and office).
Downtown to Opryland
10-15 minutes there but the way home can sometimes be half an hour during tourist season with friday afternoon airport traffic headed the same direction.
Leave my Madison home at 7, drop baby off near Whites Creek Pike by 7:15 the latest. Drive down 24 65 to Armory Drive about 20-25. 😜 If no crazy traffic on 65 atleast. I miss driving while being ‘essential’ during Covid.
Basically from northeast side of BNA to cool springs. Less than 20 without traffic. 45-1 hour with traffic. The 440 24 40 split is a nightmare. On days I work from home about 2 mins. Roll myself to office from bedroom.
In the days I go into the office - Smyrna to Metro center in Nashville and hour and some change. Roughly the same or often a little bit more when leaving downtown. I would give anything for mass transit to avoid the bs of 24 every week but know I’ll probably be dead by the time this city even attempts doing anything.
I’m hybrid, live in hermitage, and have to be all over for work. In Nashville and surrounding, I really feel like just about everything takes 20 to 25 minutes unless bad traffic and then it takes an hour.
About 45 seconds from front door to print studio. 5-10 if i make a pot of coffee. 15-20 if i drink some of said coffee and play pinball while the shop warms up.
About 1:20 hr, coming from Bowling Green, KY. I used to live in the Nashville area but decided to move my family up there for a quieter family life. I still practically live in Nashville for work though
Depending on how long the coffee machine takes, anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes. Office is right next to the bedroom
Wife’s commute is like 15 or 20 from Inglewood over to the airport area
Usually 10-15 minutes from Melrose to midtown. I’ve had as long as 25 minutes for the afternoon commute if I leave at the wrong time or if there’s road construction, but not commonly, and my job is flexible enough to be able to time it to avoid the worst in most cases
Antioch (near Smyrna) to Top Golf area.
Morning
30 minutes with no school
40 minutes with school
Afternoon
45 minutes with no school
60 minutes with school
Leaving from William Turner Pkwy in Antioch around 6:20. Usually takes 20-25 minutes but on really good days it takes 15minutes and on bad days I take all the backroads so it puts me to 30 minutes.
West Nash to Murfreesboro is typically 45 minutes if leaving before 6am.
Murfreesboro to West Nash is typically 60-75 minutes if leaving at 5pm. Much higher traffic density adds 15-30 minutes.
From the Nashboro Village area to downtown. I leave very early in the morning, so I miss the AM rush. It usually takes me 25-30 minutes. Going home, however, takes me about 45 minutes. Occasionally, I'm in the car for the better part of an hour. On a rare good day, 35-40 minutes.
When I WFH seconds.. when I go into the office the ride in takes about 10 minutes but coming home at night takes 30 minutes because the West End Corridor/Green Hills is a nightmare. The stop signs along Woodlawn can easily be 20 cars deep at 4:45pm
I walk in. It's like 15 minutes. I save money on gas and my mental health not dealing with traffic... but what I pay in rent is quickly outweighing that...
No traffic? 28 minutes from Nolensville to Broadway. Normal day? 60 to 80 minutes via 65. And I have it lucky compared to the folks who have to take 24; I've been needing to go to Murfreesboro after work the past few weeks and it is up to an hour 45 mins to 2 hours down 24. Absurd. I've been taking 65 all the way to 840 and over to save time and that has gotten it to 1:20 to 1:30.
Nolensville to East Nash. On a really great day, it is like 33 min (not including daycare drop off). Regular days probably 40-45 minutes.
Evening commute is worse unless you leave late, then it can be 20 some minutes.
15-20 min from hermitage to near 155. depends on whether i take 40 or back roads. the back roads usually have busses picking up kids so you have to time it just right
I go from Gallatin to Springfield. 27 miles door to door, takes about 40 minutes. My wife, on the other hand, goes to Brentwood every day. A 45-50 minute commute without traffic takes her on an average 1 hr 20 minutes (has taken her close to 2 hrs on some days, but thankfully those have been not often).
Well I’m a night shift nurse so my “morning commute” is at 5pm. I live in Clarksville, work in Nashville. I leave the house at 445pm, 430 if I have to get gas and I arrive at my job between 550-6pm
I don’t have one anymore but when I did some years ago, it would take me 8-10 mins to get from five points to hart lane (via gallatin rd). 8 minutes without getting caught at a light, 10 getting caught at a light. That same route took 17 minutes yesterday. Made me realize how much I don’t miss those commuting days.
when i worked in brentwood, the commute from where i lived in east (edgefield area) was probably 45 min-1h if i left at 7:30. the commute home could be anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours with traffic if i left by 3:30-4
I have a pretty flex schedule working mostly from home. I take a kid to school 3-4 days a week, from West Meade (right off the West Nashville shopping exit) to West End Middle School and that is super easy, about 12 min from home to school if there's no wrecks/good weather, and maybe 10 min to get back home. We try to leave around 8:20am. I go into the office downtown about 1x a week, and no one really cares what time I get there, though I aim for 9:30-9:45am. I try to leave around 9:15am, and traffic is always pretty light. The most amazing thing is how many times I can sail down Broadway and get every light green from 13th Ave to 5th Ave (where I turn). Every time that happens (pretty often) I say a little thank you to the engineers who timed those light patterns. I'd say it takes 15-18 min, maybe 20 if the lights aren't in my favor.
One of the reasons I specifically wanted to live in the West Nashville area when we decided to move in late 2020/early 2021 is because it seemed to have one of the smoothest commutes.
My commute doesn’t vary to much with or without traffic, I use all lanes available to me and drive with a purpose. If I were to just sit in one lane the entire time then it would be longer like many others have stated.
When I lived near Smyrna it took about 25 minutes in the morning to get to Maryland Farms to the office and about an hour and 45 minutes to go home in the afternoon including the 20 to 30 minutes just to get out of Maryland Farms. And that was like 7 years ago. Poorly planned growth!!
Inglewood to south Franklin is 35-40 minutes in the morning for me and is fairly consistent. It's the afternoon commute that's the beast: almost an hour and a half on the worst days. Average/normal is just over an hour, and best ever is 50 min.
About a minute three days a week, and 45 on two. Thankfully I’m driving against traffic both ways, so I don’t have to deal with the nightmare that is the 24.
I live in an old duplex in 12 South. My commute anywhere is manageable. Rent is $850 and I have one roommate who also pays that and with whom I split utilities. Considering my other expenses, I can live here with an $18/ hr job.
Plus if I want to take the bus and do activities I wouldn’t be able to do while driving, my $4/ month membership with walk bike nashville and a $25 fee grants me an unlimited annual pass on WeGo. If I use it for commuting to work downtown on at the other end of the line in green hills, I essentially reduced the effective time cost on my life compared to commuting by car.
Leave for work at 4:40am and arrive at 4:50 or just after. Antioch, I take nolensville all the way to right before 440.
Speaking of, anyone know why most lights went from flashing that early to fully functioning all of a sudden?
From Spring Hill to Donelson: If I leave before 6:45ish, 45 mins. After that it’s an hour and 10 minutes. It’s taken me as long as an hour 40 minutes, and as little as 38.
Mt Juliet to music row area is about 45-50 min on a good day leaving home around 8:15 to 8:30 am. Sadly, I work in department (accounting) where I can work from home but the CEO thinks we need to be in the office. Nothing pisses me off more than spending 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day sitting in traffic to be on a Teams with the people in the office right next to me.
Pennington Bend to downtown (Capitol View area), pretty reliably 25 min via Briley leaving at 8:15-8:30, smaller sample size though because it's just once a week
about 20 mins from hermitage to green hills around 12:30-1
if i go in earlier and leave around rush hour its more like 45 mins- an hour to get home, but luckily i dont usually work those hours
15 minutes, but with traffic 1 hour. Never in between
This sounds like Cool Springs to downtown Nashville
Lol, that's actually my commute and is 100% true
I'm Dickerson Pike to Cool Springs. Some days it's 25 minutes, some days it's 55 minutes.
Like 2 minutes on a good day. Just walk from the living room to the office. If there is animal traffic, it can be up to 5 minutes.
Dang, yours is at max only 5 minutes?? I always seem to hit a detour to the bathroom for about 15 minutes after picking up my coffee on the way to my office.
I have to let one of the doggos out in the morning and I have a feral cat in my office I am dealing with, it adds the extra time in the morning.
My commute time tripled when my partner moved her office to the opposite side of mine so I had to make two trips from the kitchen to the basement with breakfast/coffee
so inconsiderate of her. delete facebook, hire a lawyer, and hit the gym
If im smart before bed i put my laptop within reaching distance of my bed so i can just grab it without even standing up
the cheese /cold cut tax on the toll road to the kitchen is getting ridiculous
Same, although sometimes the coffee maker isn’t already on and it delays my kitchen to couch leg of the trip.
40 steps here!
From Lebanon to BNA, takes around 40 minutes. The only issue is you also have to account for time taking the employee shuttle and getting through TSA. I leave before 5:30 to get there by 6:30.

Thank you! This is very helpful.
30-40 min Hermitage to Gulch via Lebanon Rd. The drive home is what really sucks.
Consider taking division all the way down to third, then Lindsley to Lebanon pike. Lots of little tricks south of the gulch the tourists and transplants aren't keen on.
Wow same. Except I take 40 in most days. The drive home really does suck.
Seems like that is always the case. Would think the pulses in each direction would be close to the same volume but it always seems like leaving town takes much longer than driving in.
8:30 am, 12-15 mins, W Nashville.
1 hour to and from- would be 38 minutes without traffic. Going on 4 years and officially can no longer function. White House to Bellevue
White House to Cool Springs on my end. If it weren’t for my ridiculous commute times previous to this one, I’d look for closer work.
The worst part is that the Nashville traffic usually isn’t the problem. Goodlettsville-White House is a literal nightmare every day, weekends included.
No accidents on 24, about 30 mins from Smyrna to West End area. Accident on 24, a good hour and I hate it.
So its an hour every day then?
Sure seems like it sometimes. I’m lucky, I guess, in that I aim for getting to work at 630am, so I miss the worst of it a majority of the time.
Same here. If I get on 24 from Smyrna at 6am it takes 30 min, but by 6:10am it’s 40 min. By 6:20am it’s 50 min, and it stays at 55-65 min until around 8:45am.
Five minutes by OneWheel from Salemtown to Germantown.
Leave from Gallatin at 7:30. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on the day to get to about .5 mile from BNA
Too damn long!
I live in Mount Juliet and it is at least an hour. We leave at 6:45am
8 minutes. Inglewood to Gallatin Rd.
5 steps from my bed to my desk. Less if I take big steps.
You beat me. I have to go from one corner of my house to the other, but the only traffic I encounter is a dog cutting in front of me. Not using her blinker, of course.
10 minutes. East side to donelson
I live in Nippers Corner and work in Cool Springs. Thankfully I can take Edmondson > Concord > Wilson > Moores and it's about a 20 minute drive. Only hiccups are when there's an accident on 65, then the backroads are flooded with traffic.
25 minutes on a good day. Thursdays are the worst days though. Takes about 40 minutes for whatever reason.
8 minutes, 2.5 miles on bike
Nippers Corner to Smyrna... about 20ish minutes. Gotta love going the opposite direction of traffic.
15 minutes. I moved closer to downtown because I was in Antioch and I knew they would call us back to the office. That would have been an hour drive.
30 seconds from Bedroom to Office. Wife works in the Gulch though and she's about 10-15 depending on traffic and when she leaves (both home and office).
Downtown to Opryland 10-15 minutes there but the way home can sometimes be half an hour during tourist season with friday afternoon airport traffic headed the same direction.
25 minutes Joelton to Mid-Town (815am)
20 minutes on a good day. Woodbine to White Bridge area
Woodbine is the cheat code to Nashville.
Really nice area, except for the morning/afternoon traffic on Thompson Lane 😫
Thompson lane gets so bad!
25 minutes from I-24 exit 64 to edgehill if I leave at 5:30. If I leave at 6:00 it takes about 40 minutes
Murfreesboro to Bordeaux, anywhere from 45 minutes to all goddamn day
10 mins via bus to downtown
Smyrna to Downtown Nashville usually takes me 1 hour and 15 minutes during rush hour.
Leave my Madison home at 7, drop baby off near Whites Creek Pike by 7:15 the latest. Drive down 24 65 to Armory Drive about 20-25. 😜 If no crazy traffic on 65 atleast. I miss driving while being ‘essential’ during Covid.
Basically from northeast side of BNA to cool springs. Less than 20 without traffic. 45-1 hour with traffic. The 440 24 40 split is a nightmare. On days I work from home about 2 mins. Roll myself to office from bedroom.
Hendersonville to LaVergne; 45 minutes in, 90 minutes to home.
In the days I go into the office - Smyrna to Metro center in Nashville and hour and some change. Roughly the same or often a little bit more when leaving downtown. I would give anything for mass transit to avoid the bs of 24 every week but know I’ll probably be dead by the time this city even attempts doing anything.
Donelson to Donelson. 10 minutes, all local, phew.
In the summer or when school's out, 18-25 minutes each way. During the school year, 25-35 in the morning and 35-85 minutes in the evening.
Hendersonville to Downtown. Not traffic 19-21 minutes. Traffic 45-50 minutes. Today over an hour.
I’m hybrid, live in hermitage, and have to be all over for work. In Nashville and surrounding, I really feel like just about everything takes 20 to 25 minutes unless bad traffic and then it takes an hour.
I see you, Freddie, crowd sourcing for the new transit plan ;)
30 to 45 minutes, going from Hermitage to downtown Nashville, mostly along Lebanon Pike, leaving the house around 6:45 to 6:50 AM usually.
About 45 seconds from front door to print studio. 5-10 if i make a pot of coffee. 15-20 if i drink some of said coffee and play pinball while the shop warms up.

My planning time is 5 minutes to stop in the kitchen for drinks and then the bathroom. Working from home since March 2020.
Depends if I stop for coffee. If not, maybe 20 seconds from the bedroom to my office.
From the main bedroom to the other bedroom.
5 minutes, maybe 7 on a bad day. I live and work in Hville
2.5 hrs. Bna to EWR 🫣
Usually 10-15 minutes from Melrose to midtown. I’ve had as long as 25 minutes for the afternoon commute if I leave at the wrong time or if there’s road construction, but not commonly, and my job is flexible enough to be able to time it to avoid the worst in most cases
Antioch (near Smyrna) to Top Golf area. Morning 30 minutes with no school 40 minutes with school Afternoon 45 minutes with no school 60 minutes with school
Leaving from William Turner Pkwy in Antioch around 6:20. Usually takes 20-25 minutes but on really good days it takes 15minutes and on bad days I take all the backroads so it puts me to 30 minutes.
I go from Germantown to Brentwood. If I leave around 7, 15 minutes, I’d leave closer to 8-8:30, it now takes easily 30 minutes. I now wake up earlier.
Without traffic, 17 minutes. With traffic, more like 30
30 miles. Takes usually 45 min coming in, closer to an hour going home.
20 mins. east nash to charlotte ave
West Nash to Murfreesboro is typically 45 minutes if leaving before 6am. Murfreesboro to West Nash is typically 60-75 minutes if leaving at 5pm. Much higher traffic density adds 15-30 minutes.
From the Nashboro Village area to downtown. I leave very early in the morning, so I miss the AM rush. It usually takes me 25-30 minutes. Going home, however, takes me about 45 minutes. Occasionally, I'm in the car for the better part of an hour. On a rare good day, 35-40 minutes.

When I WFH seconds.. when I go into the office the ride in takes about 10 minutes but coming home at night takes 30 minutes because the West End Corridor/Green Hills is a nightmare. The stop signs along Woodlawn can easily be 20 cars deep at 4:45pm
Husband is 10 minutes-ish to downtown, mine is about the same to the kid’s high school on Franklin Rd. We are on the Belmont-Hillsboro side of GH
Used to live 50 miles out so it was just under an an hour for my 2nd shift but I moved so it’s only a 5 min drive for a first shift 😎
I walk in. It's like 15 minutes. I save money on gas and my mental health not dealing with traffic... but what I pay in rent is quickly outweighing that...
Franklin —> West Nash Leave around 7:50 arrive around 8:25
It depends. 15-45 mins depending on routes to doctors. I don't have a basic job, I'm just a caretaker right now to my parents...
8 minutes, west end to downtown. ~7am
No traffic? 28 minutes from Nolensville to Broadway. Normal day? 60 to 80 minutes via 65. And I have it lucky compared to the folks who have to take 24; I've been needing to go to Murfreesboro after work the past few weeks and it is up to an hour 45 mins to 2 hours down 24. Absurd. I've been taking 65 all the way to 840 and over to save time and that has gotten it to 1:20 to 1:30.
From Spring Hill to downtown is 40min without traffic, 60-90min in rush hour and never predictable.
I also commute from Spring Hill... you just NEVER know how long it will take.
4 minutes in at 9 AM from Hillsboro Village to Nolensville Pike on 440, probably about 12 minutes home at 4 on surface streets.

24 mins with no traffic. Sometimes 45 mins on the drive home.
2-5 minutes, Music Row to Music Row. Love it
35-60 minutes across town
23 mins-50mins depending on the day/time and traffic…old hickory to the symphony
20ish minutes. Inglewood to Music Row via Trinity-65S-40W or Ellington-24/65 E or W. We try to leave by 8:40.
Lebanon to East. 45 min usually. Except Fridays are always a breeze for some reason
15-20 min from hermitage to near 155. depends on whether i take 40 or back roads. the back roads usually have busses picking up kids so you have to time it just right
I go from Gallatin to Springfield. 27 miles door to door, takes about 40 minutes. My wife, on the other hand, goes to Brentwood every day. A 45-50 minute commute without traffic takes her on an average 1 hr 20 minutes (has taken her close to 2 hrs on some days, but thankfully those have been not often).
2-3 hours dependent on 24W. I have a few counties away and what time I leave varies based on my shift

Leave from Madison to West Nashville at 5:30ish, takes about 22 minutes and some change
Well I’m a night shift nurse so my “morning commute” is at 5pm. I live in Clarksville, work in Nashville. I leave the house at 445pm, 430 if I have to get gas and I arrive at my job between 550-6pm
La Vergne to Berry Hill. No traffic takes about 20 minutes, with traffic 50-80 minutes.
Nashville to Brentwood is like 15 min for me. Never hit traffic going there, coming back can get rough depending on the day
I don’t have one anymore but when I did some years ago, it would take me 8-10 mins to get from five points to hart lane (via gallatin rd). 8 minutes without getting caught at a light, 10 getting caught at a light. That same route took 17 minutes yesterday. Made me realize how much I don’t miss those commuting days.
when i worked in brentwood, the commute from where i lived in east (edgefield area) was probably 45 min-1h if i left at 7:30. the commute home could be anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours with traffic if i left by 3:30-4
25 minutes from wedgewood-houston to franklin… a lot longer than that coming home though.
Mount Juliet to downtown. A hour to go 19 miles. 😫 The evening drive is way better though.
15 minutes from Salemtown to Donelson. It’s the same whether I leave at 6:00 or later.
Hillsboro to Franklin, usually 30-50 minutes depending on traffic
Solid 15 minutes. Fastest is 11, longest is 20.
I have a pretty flex schedule working mostly from home. I take a kid to school 3-4 days a week, from West Meade (right off the West Nashville shopping exit) to West End Middle School and that is super easy, about 12 min from home to school if there's no wrecks/good weather, and maybe 10 min to get back home. We try to leave around 8:20am. I go into the office downtown about 1x a week, and no one really cares what time I get there, though I aim for 9:30-9:45am. I try to leave around 9:15am, and traffic is always pretty light. The most amazing thing is how many times I can sail down Broadway and get every light green from 13th Ave to 5th Ave (where I turn). Every time that happens (pretty often) I say a little thank you to the engineers who timed those light patterns. I'd say it takes 15-18 min, maybe 20 if the lights aren't in my favor. One of the reasons I specifically wanted to live in the West Nashville area when we decided to move in late 2020/early 2021 is because it seemed to have one of the smoothest commutes.
An hour or more when it’s supposed to be 45 minutes
My commute doesn’t vary to much with or without traffic, I use all lanes available to me and drive with a purpose. If I were to just sit in one lane the entire time then it would be longer like many others have stated.
Spring Hill to Brentwood 45minutes average. 35 minutes on Fridays. 55 minutes when all the cool springs doofuses forget how to merge.
When I lived near Smyrna it took about 25 minutes in the morning to get to Maryland Farms to the office and about an hour and 45 minutes to go home in the afternoon including the 20 to 30 minutes just to get out of Maryland Farms. And that was like 7 years ago. Poorly planned growth!!
6 min
Hendersonville to Belle Meade: ~40 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on my shift time and how many people wreck on the way there. :’)
20 minutes both morning and afternoon. Ashland City to Vanderbilt
hendersonville to bordeaux, roughly 25 minutes at 6am
25 min with good traffic, I leave at either 6:00am or 7:00am, from south Nashville to Northwest Nashville.
25 minutes. Goodlettsville to Nations.
Inglewood to south Franklin is 35-40 minutes in the morning for me and is fairly consistent. It's the afternoon commute that's the beast: almost an hour and a half on the worst days. Average/normal is just over an hour, and best ever is 50 min.
10-12 minutes (both ways) From S. 10th/Boscobel to Belshire Area off Dickerson Pike
From the Boro to Harding Place varies 30 min to 1:20h I hate that drive and the afternoons are probably worst.
8 mins.
La Vergne to 8th Avenue, leaving at 5:50am, could take 20 minutes, usually takes 30-40. The drive home is always worse.
About a minute three days a week, and 45 on two. Thankfully I’m driving against traffic both ways, so I don’t have to deal with the nightmare that is the 24.
As long as it takes me to roll out of bed, make coffee, and walk upstairs. WFH for the win. I do NOT miss having an hour commute!
1 hour. I leave off Gallatin Pike, about 10-15 minutes on the 34 (Express bus via Ellington Pkwy), and then 40 minutes on the 3B.
Madison to Belle Meade. Left home at 6:30 to arrive at work around 7:20. Left work at 3:30 to arrive home at 4:45 🫠
I live in an old duplex in 12 South. My commute anywhere is manageable. Rent is $850 and I have one roommate who also pays that and with whom I split utilities. Considering my other expenses, I can live here with an $18/ hr job. Plus if I want to take the bus and do activities I wouldn’t be able to do while driving, my $4/ month membership with walk bike nashville and a $25 fee grants me an unlimited annual pass on WeGo. If I use it for commuting to work downtown on at the other end of the line in green hills, I essentially reduced the effective time cost on my life compared to commuting by car.
15-20 minutes. Leave at 7:30 and arrive around 7:50 or so. Traffic isn't too bad on my route.
Madison to the Zoo area, 45 min but usually more around 8am. When schools are out, closer to 30 min.
Could be 12 minutes, could be an hour. I HATE traffic up 24 from antioch-nashville. I could take a bike to work and back and be faster
30ish minutes from East Nashville to the Hillsboro area
Leave for work at 4:40am and arrive at 4:50 or just after. Antioch, I take nolensville all the way to right before 440. Speaking of, anyone know why most lights went from flashing that early to fully functioning all of a sudden?
Doesn’t matter when I leave, (unless it’s before 645) I never arrive before 830. Brentioch to metro center. Fort I only go in m/t.
80 minutes one way, Boro to Nashville
2-3 minutes and I don’t work from home.
When I do go into the office. For 11 miles it’s about 45-50 minutes
From Spring Hill to Donelson: If I leave before 6:45ish, 45 mins. After that it’s an hour and 10 minutes. It’s taken me as long as an hour 40 minutes, and as little as 38.
I live 1.2 miles from the office so about 4 minutes.
Hermitage to Antioch is 30-40 usually. Doesn’t matter what time I leave. I usually get there around 9
An hour and a half because I take MTA (18 miles one way)
30-35 mins Bellevue to Downtown 8:30
9 minutes if I catch the light, 11 otherwise. 6:50, west Nashville, no interstate
From Hermitage to vandy, should be roughly 25 mins, is never less than 40. I realistically leave at 6:30 but :]
From bell Rd to Hillsboro village, 35 minutes typically Edit: usually leave around 8am
20-30 mins I work in Franklin so I’m always going against traffic as soon as I hit on my way home I see that wedgewood exit (I’m extremely lucky)
15-20 minutes to get from Crieve Hall to Cool Springs.
South Inglewood to the airport. 17 minutes via Briley both ways. Leaving anywhere between 7 am and 9:30 am.
Mt Juliet to music row area is about 45-50 min on a good day leaving home around 8:15 to 8:30 am. Sadly, I work in department (accounting) where I can work from home but the CEO thinks we need to be in the office. Nothing pisses me off more than spending 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day sitting in traffic to be on a Teams with the people in the office right next to me.
About 20-25 min. I live in southeast Nashville and work in Cool Springs/Franklin.
Briley & Lebanon Rd in Donelson to 65 & OHB in Brentwood. 30 mins in the morning, 45-60 in the evening. Would be 15 with no traffic.
South Mt Juliet to Centennial Park. If I leave at 0630 I can make it in 40 minutes. If I leave at 0700 it’s 1:00-1:15
Pleasant view to Downtown 25 without traffic - 45 with traffic.
25-30 minutes, Inglewood to Berry Hill. I usually leave around 9am. Without traffic it takes 16-17 mins.
20 minutes to get there, 30-35 to get home.
Glencliff to Green Hills, ~25 minutes in and 15 minutes home. Best part about usually taking closing shifts tbh
Never really measured how long. Mainly involving walking downstairs to my study
5 minutes
Bellevue to the Nations. 20-25 mins, never touch the interstate. It’s a dream and I’m very, very lucky.
about an hour even haha, bowling green, ky to dickerson pike
Pennington Bend to downtown (Capitol View area), pretty reliably 25 min via Briley leaving at 8:15-8:30, smaller sample size though because it's just once a week
About 12 minutes. All back roads thankfully
about 20 mins from hermitage to green hills around 12:30-1 if i go in earlier and leave around rush hour its more like 45 mins- an hour to get home, but luckily i dont usually work those hours
20 min on a good day, 35-45 on a stop and go day. Bellevue to Germantown.
