I drive just over an hour each way. DH has the worst drive though, it can be 1.5 to 3 hours hours each way depending on the traffic. I agree that if you're on public transport you can make use of the time. But we both drive - don't even ask about the km's our cars do!
We're on the Sunny Coast and DH works in Logan. We've been doing it for around 7 years. It's a lifestyle thing, plus both our families live here.
