I wake up at 7.00, leave Manurewa about 7.20 - 7.25.
Travel 26km into CBD and get there at about 8.45 - 8.50. My transport is motorcycle so I'm filtering with all the other motorcycle commuters.

Hometime is horrible just for the sheer fact of getting *to* the motorway in the CBD. I finish either 4.30, 5.00 or even 6.00. Usually takes 30 - 45 minutes depending on the traffic. /edit; sometimes I just work until 6.00 because if I leave just after 5.00 pm the time of arrival to home isn't all that different due to congestion.

So that's a 52km daily commute. I would calculate an additional hour onto those times if I were in a car.
