I know many people who have commuted from Fort Worth to Dallas for years. More recently, we are running into a lot of people who commute from Dallas to Fort Worth because of job growth in one vs. the other.

The distance between the two downtowns is only 36 miles but it can easily be an hour or more between them at many times of the day. The Trinity Railway Express has picked up many daily commuters in both directions.

Several of my teammates have an even greater commute from DFW area suburbs to downtown Fort Worth. My business partner drives over an hour without traffic from the far northern DFW suburbs to downtown Fort Worth. When we moved our office, we commissioned a real estate study and it would have been possible for some of us to have had up to a two hour commute depending which business area of DFW we relocated our business to just because of all the sprawl.
