It's about an hour and a half from Midtown or the Upper East side to Danbury and it seems like Harvey was there every other day. He has a driver, but that's still 3+ hours out of his day.

hahaha so true ... i think the timeline is that Mike was in jail 2 months ...
Harvey would have been wise to maybe get a hotel/sublet an apartment in the area given just how much time he was there (as many as several times an episode).
I couldn't remember whether or not he had been there twice in one day. One would assume he'd think something like "Nah, I've already been up there once today. I'll go to sleep early & get an early start tomorrow."
It always bugs me when writers fail to look at a map and realize how far characters actually have to travel. In X-Men 3 Wolverine went from a forest near San Francisco to Westchester, NY (presumably on a motorcycle) to summon his teammates instead of just making a phone call. On Falling Skies Tom apparently walked most of the way from Boston to South Carolina rather quickly. On The Office several characters left Scranton in the middle of the day to play a prank in Utica which would have been a three hour drive. In another episode, Jan traveled from NYC to Scranton to Stamford and back to Scranton all in a day which would have been a combineb 400+ miles in 7 hours.

Harvey could multi-task. I'm guessing he still pays for a driver.
Dr Jason Bull: Don't give up on people, they're all we've got.
That's what I assumed as well. He probably has his laptop and paper work with him in the car. While it's still an inconvenience we are led to believe that Harvey will do anything for mike. I think Sean complained about the drive a few eps ago but I can't remember the exact line.
shareWith a chauffeur Harvey can count the time as billable hours.
For the 1st five years after college, I lived in one town and worked in another. Round trip, 5-6 days a week: 120 miles per day.

I have a coworker who lives 65 miles away. I don't know how he does it.
shareI have friends who are service technicians for alarm companies and would not want their daily travel between distant sites. Another friend works for a railroad and drives 100+ miles to the garage he's based out of and then it can be a long drive to wherever on the track they're working that day. I've known people who have driven, and some that still do drive, 100+ miles Monday through Friday for several weeks for construction/excavation jobs. Then there are people who come from far away to do the same sort of work around here. Makes me appreciate my 20 minute commute but also baffles me as to why separate companies, who do the same thing, whose respective employees must practically pass each other going opposite ways don't work something out to trade jobs and avoid wasting time & fuel. It's especially weird with the alarm companies since they're a branch of or contracted by bigger alarm companies and we're in the sticks, so why aren't their technicians in more populated areas that my friends are being sent to?
