How long will it take me to get to downtown detroit?

I need to be downtown for work at 9am. Considering that I live about 45 minutes north of downtown (with no traffic) what time should I leave to get there around 9?

Answer 1

7:50

Answer 2

Non-drivers.  Assuming you are going by car, I would allow at least 2 hours during the first month of employment until you can figure out what the other drivers are doing.  There are always rush hour jams at I94/I696, I94/I75 and this one extends past the I96 going south, as well as the I69/I275/MI14 interchange.  If you are taking public transit, the times will be different.  If the 45 minutes is based on public transit, still go with the 2 hours for the first week.  You don't want to be late.  Better to be early and sit around the coffee machine until starting time than to be late.
