I walk into my home office, as my company like many went fully remote during COVID and stayed that way. However prior to that I had two options:
I could bike, it was about 5.5 miles with bike lanes the whole way (until downtown, where the roads were shared but marked for bike traffic). I think it took me about 20 or 30 minutes, but honestly I don't remember anymore. Going home took longer as it was uphill compared to the way in.
The other option was I could take public transit; there were both buses and a light rail and I greatly preferred the latter. When I did that, it was a 5 minute walk to the light rail, about a 20 minute ride, and then a 10 minute walk to the office.
At the time I lived in a decent sized US city, but since going remote I've moved somewhere smaller. However I really loved having good public transit, and if I ever had to go into an office again either being able to bike or public transit in is a big requirement for me; I can't stand car commuting: it's stressful and wasteful, and has a very negative impact on cities for those that live there.
