    I drive everywhere, including neigbours houses. Ever since gettin a car I haven't walked anywhere at all.

    Just wondering what the rest of ya's are like... Lazy as me? I've been considering getting a bike for work (bout a 25min cycle but I'm convinced I'd die halfway).

    How bout you AH?

    I travel in a vehicle that doesn't hurt Mother Earth. It's a go-cart, powered by my own sense of self-satisfaction.

    Either that, or by car.

    One bus to work, one home. Very easy and always on time. I get off a stop or two early from work on warm days so I can get in a 15-20 minute walk.

    I tend to walk if I can. I usually work in town so it's very convienent to walk in. The longest journey was when I was working in the IFSC. That was a 75 minute walk.

    Walk and bus now. Used to drive.
    Cycled for a bit but the roads here are complete crap, very few cycle lanes on the Northside and what little of them there are, they're not policed and very few people that drive (including bus drivers!) care about the cycle lanes and the people cycling in them.

    Worst buses for me are the 13/13a and the 83 - purely because they're usually filthy dirty, old, smelly and sometimes the seats are wet when it's not even been raining and windows open. Best guess it's piss but ah well :(

    The 56A or the 68.

    Flying past in the bus lanes as the poor old unlucky sods queue to drive a few more centimetres :cool:

    No need to go outside Dublin..

    Walk most places in Limerick, use the buses now and again. Car for travelling anywhere outside Limerick city.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    is a taxi public transport?

    I use them alot, and find the quality very good. rarely have a problem.

    For longer distances I use portkeys.

    Walk to work, Drive when I'm working on weekends.

    Live a few mins walk from city centre so no motorized vehicles needed.

    Cycle up and down the Clontarf road to keep this lean body in check.

    I voted public transport because I get the train to and from college every day. I drive to work on Saturdays and if I'm going to my friends house or wherever. Or if we're going to the cinema I might get a lift with my other friend who also drives. No point both of us driving if we can just go in one car.

    I said public transport coz theres no walking option :mad: I take the odd bus, but generally if it's a long journey or it's raining I just don't bother leaving the house :cool: I live less than three minutes from college and staggering distance from pubs and clubs so I rarely need another form of transport

    Drive mostly.
    Friends houses nearby I walk to.
    If I'm drinking I get the bus, or drive and crash (in a friends house :))
