How long is your commute to work???

About 20 minutes from Lucan to St. Stephens Green, 25 minutes if there is bad traffic.

:eek: Do you go to work at 3am in a Ferrari?

Ahh Dublin. Glad I don't live there (or at some point in the horrid commuter belt) for that reason alone.

Takes me 10 mins on mo rothar about 5-25mins if I take the car (generally don't I think 3 times in the last year) depending on the traffic

Tazz T

Should really have an option for homeworkers as we just walk to the next room?

Mind you, can take me an hour some monrings. :cool:

Oriel

10 mins walk, shamefully, 2 mins drive.

Nah, straight down the bus lane all the way on two wheels. The traffic lights slow things down for me more than the traffic does.

Yeah, either that or a helicopter! :eek:
robinph, how do you get from Lucan to St. Stephen's Green in 20 mins?

On-topic, my commute is about 30 mins for a 35 mile drive. A14 and onto the A11

its only an 8 mile journey.
I drive from Maynooth to O'Connell st. in about 20-22 minutes off peak times.

I'm really lucky in that I have a 5 minute walk to work. However I have travelled from Kildare to Dublin for many years and that could be as quick as 45mins each way to 2 hours depending on traffic.

One Cold Hand

4 and a half minute walk. I've timed it to the second!

When I was living at home during college it was over an hour each way. Hate commuting.

Magic words! When I lived in Maynooth, getting into Dublin during rush hour was a fcuking nightmare! I also lived in Lucan so I know anyone posting sub-1-hour times is either telling porkies or travelling off-peak or in bus lanes
Nice to be able to commute at off-peak times

Noelie

Moving jobs in 2 weeks and commute will only be about 10 minutes.
Currently it's about 25

rossious

55 mins all in,each way, includes dropping the good lady to Wyeth!!

themadchef

3 to 10 minutes depending on volume of sheep on the road :D

It's always off peak when your on two wheels, well until you get right into the city and the bus lanes dissapear. Of course I should probably have added and extra 5 minutes or so to my commuting time for getting all the waterproofs on and off at each end as well.

DonJose

My commute to work is 5 seconds, I work from home so its a trip from the bedroom to the office.

Wacker

it's about an hour for me, but that isn't so bad as it mostly spent on the DART, where I read. That is way more to my liking than driving. I don't know how people endure long drives to work.

JIZZLORD

10 min, if i count locking my bike and walking in the door

BuffyBot

About 10 seconds. Less if I get out of bed and to my PC quickly

mastermind2005

i used to live about 30 seconds walk to work.. i tought it was a bad idea as i recon the commute to and from work helps you distance yourself from the work frame of mind...

now i go by motorbike which takes me around 25-30 mins

or if i drive my car it take 60-70 mins

Your far to eager to get to work.

Q_Ball

1hr - 1hr 20m Blanchardstown to Cabinteely. On a motorbike. Through town and usually the same back, sometimes more. Havent passed my test so cant use M50 but even if I did, it'll still be about the same since they closed the glenamuck rd at kiltiernan, forcing me off at leopardstown or cherrywood.

Nightmare when its raining the whole commute, like today :mad:

When I was working in Boston (the city in America, not Boston Scientific) back in 1998 I had to be out the door at 6.30am to have any hope of getting to work by 9, and wasn't home till 8.30 each night. Did it for a year and swore never again. Ever since I've refused to even look at a job that'll be more than 20 mins away.

Commuting more than 30 mins is a mugs game.

Raiser

10 Miles, ~15 minutes, was absolutely no traffic lights until recently when they installed a set [99% green] at the local secondary school exit

- Come to Limerick and simply ignore the rampant everyday violence and crime like the locals have learnt to do

doonothing

it takes half an hour sometimes, and well over an hour sometimes.
oh the joy of workin in town!

gurramok

About 6 min through back roads of Blanch by car. Bus service is unreliable and don't go on my times at shift.
Before anyone tree huggers give out ..Used to cycle it for years, too many near misses mostly with trucks hence got car.

Wouldn't walk it either, its suicidal as there are no paths.

Marksie

I take it its one way as using irish rail there is severe dysfunction between morning and evening srevices.

It used to be over two hours each way for me.

But since our premises moved 8 miles that has dropped to juts over one hour each way.... no coordinated transport system here.
