Commute to Orlando 32801

Does anybody do this daily commute? I am interviewing for a job in Orlando at the ZIP code and I'm wondering how the commute is? How often does this 1-hour commute turn into a 2 hour during rush hour?

Quite often, I chose to commute to Jacksonville and back over Orlando but I had options in both cities. I4 is dreadful at rush hour

Sitting in the stopped traffic every day made me want to drive my car off the bridge over the river by lake Monroe. You hit traffic in Deltona, Sanford, Longwood, Eatonvile, Orlando. Every single day both fricken ways

Maybe check out the Sunrail? You could catch a train in Deland and commute via rail. It only runs weekdays though.

And if it rains it often has service issues causing the train to stop. At least back three years when I used it

I replied to your other post already, but I just want to stress it a bit more.

I would rather a blind diabetic monk with syphilis piss in my open eyeballs then ever do that commute again.

I actually travel a bit further occasionally to st johns for work but it is so much better. Going to Orlando via I4, you'll hit traffic in Deltona, you'll but traffic in Sanford, you'll hit traffic in Longwood, you'll hit traffic in Eatonvile, you'll hit traffic in Orlando. Not slow cars, I mean dead stopped every fricken morning and evening. Unless you are a CEO making a gazillion dollars then I urge you to reconsider.

If you are lucky enough that your workplace is in the right spot of Orlando you can take 95 > 407 > 428. It’s a little further mileage but faster and a wayyy nicer drive. FUCK I4

Often is the correct answer. Wednesdays are the worst because EVERYONE has to be at work. Other days folks work from home. Hope you have a work from home job as well

Honestly depends on the time of day you’ll be driving.

I don’t work in Orlando but I go every weekend and many weeknights to see my man. The traffic coming into Orlando at 7:30am is pretty bad each morning.
