commute to work / college

0O7

How long is your commute to work, distance and time wise...
if its far, do you get sick of it or get used to it?

starbelgrade

About 20 seconds.

I find it really tiresome.

cosmicfart

you must be wrecked alright

stovelid

About 40 minutes by Luas.

I like it. It's possibly one of the few times in the day that I'm alone with my thoughts, music or book.

Aglomerado

40 minutes, by car. Carpool with a colleague, so the banter helps the time pass quickly.

Carl Sagan

An ~hour each way.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

A f*ckin hour. I hate Dublin Bus

TouchingVirus

45 minutes each way by car. Drives me mad

Mr. Manager

22-25 mins each way depending on the lights

alanclarke1975

1 hour 15 in the summer / 1.5 hours in the non summer months.

Audiobooks help me get used to it - other than that its painful.

XxMCRxBabyxX

Used to be and hour and a half each way plus the 30min walk to and from the bus stop plus the getting in 30mins early. So much fun...

Now it's 7 mins!

dearg lady

10-15 mins by bike or car. Feel sooo much better since I moved closer to work

thats alot alright. drive or train?

FatherLen

half hour. tis grand

jester77

7 mins walk to train, 10 mins on train
OR 15 mins walk to boat and 7 mins with boat (only ever do that in the evenings)

Steamer

65km one way, 45 mins in car. Don't mind the drive, mind the money

mailforkev

On the bus; 20 minutes during the summer, 25 when the foreign students are in town, 30-35 mins when the schools are back and all the little darlings are getting dropped 5 mins down the road.

St.Spodo

20 minutes by bus to college. About half an hour in the evening when there's traffic on the Quays.

Dravokivich

I go against the rush hour traffic so getting in and out of work is handy enough. Takes about 35 / 40 minutes depending on the train. Seems they are still counted as being on time if they are within 10 minutes.

Amirani

30/40 minutes cycle. Anything from 30-60 minutes by bus depending on traffic. Cycling is my preferred option but the bus can be handy sometimes for reading.

dos30

18 miles each way, takes around 20-25 minutes which is grand.
Used to be an hour when I lived in Dublin. Don't miss the Luas one bit.

stacexD

An hour and a half, got so sick of it I just moved after 4 days

Until Tuesday the 9th Aug (so almost a week ago) I was driving 56 miles to work and 56 miles home for the last 13 years and 1 month. I've now moved up near work and its a 12 mile drive now so don't know myself!

chalkie 501

I bet you're always late

GLaDOS

20 minute walk, slightly less if it's the near side of campus

eirn

Current job its about 10-15 minutes drive, which is grand. The worst commute I had involved getting a bus to the train station, 45 minute train journey, another bus once I got there, and then a twenty minute walk. I hated it, added so much stress, and I was constantly wrecked, I just lived for the weekend, even though the job itself was actually ok! The only plus was that I read an extra book a week on the train. Couldn't see myself ever giving up my car now.

Bus to Abbey street from Clontarf. Walk across town to Stephens Green Luas. Then get the Luas out to Sandyford.

Takes an hour in the morning. Sometimes an hour and a half if the traffic is bad in the evening.

Absolute pain in my arsehole.

The distance and length of time doesn't really annoy me. It's the amount of plebs I've to deal with along the way!

kingtut

4 hours each way

Aoifey!

It used to be 40-50 minutes on a bus to college but I got sick of it and moved up, then it was about 2 minutes walk.

Miss Fluff

12 mins walk and yet I still manage to arrive late every morning

Marty McFly

Roughly a 10 to 15 minute drive, I work shift work also which helps me avoid rush hour traffic on what can be a very busy junction, newlands cross.

Chuchoter

About a half hour each way.

cgordonfreeman

3 minute walk.

brummytom

Hour to school on bus - 15 minutes if I get a lift


2 hours to work - 40mins if I get a lift.


Public transport really is shite
