I live around 13 miles from my work , So daily it’s a 26 mile trip to and from .
What is your opinion ? Is my commute bad?

I’ve noticed that now that I’m out in the suburbs, interview places have asked me about commuting. I don’t enjoy rush hour traffic, nor do I like rude drivers. However, I’m grateful that my area has a fairly good and reliable public transportation system.
So far I answer this question by stating that I’m aware of the commute (I had come to the interview, so obviously I’ve just had some experience with it…) and that because I live in the suburbs, I pretty much have to commute. My other option would be to get an apartment in the city, which of course is expensive.
Is this a trick question? (Ie, Can you be on time?) Is there something hiring managers are looking for? Is this just something I should be aware of as a potential downside?
