For almost six years, I worked in Markham near the corner of Warden Avenue and Highway 7. From our home in the Guildwood Village, there was an almost infinite choice of routes to take during my commute. I could drive north for a bit, then west, then north again, then west, and so on until I reached my job. But after a while, I hit on a strategy. To minimize the time taken to drive to work, I found that the best way was to put as much of the drive as possible within the city of Toronto.
