Is this the worst commute?


Workin’ 9 to 5 is a way to make a living — however commuting 1,204 miles to get to work will probably drive you crazy if you let it.

Just ask Ian Bearce. It takes him six hours to get to and from work.

The man travels from Minneapolis to New York City and back on a weekly basis for his job at design company The Mill.

Explaining his commute, he says, “I drive to the airport, park, take the airport shuttle, get to my gate about 10 minutes before we board, and usually go back to sleep for a portion of the flight, and then take a train or bus to the office, sometimes both, depending on which airport I land at. [I] get into the office around 12:30, just in time for a conference call, usually.”

Ian says his job is amazing and worth it, and he has never considered relocating his service and devotion to NYC.

He is just one of the many “super commuters,” a growing population of folks who commute 90 minutes or more because they choose to live in a rural environment but work in a metropolis.


What a way to make a living!
