Your morning commute:

Neewbie_noob

Whether you're a college-goer or a worker, we all hate commuting. How long is yours?

Ironically, off-peak journeys are longer for me, because the express 33X is no longer running, and I have to get the regular 33. From door to door, my home to college is about 1hr - 1hr 10 mins with the X and off peak with the regular 33 it's close to 2 hours.

So boardsies, what's your commute like??

Agent Smith

Approx 45 mins - 1 hour


I do shift work, so it can vary greatly

I love my morning commute. 20 mins in the car, no traffic, time to drink my coffee and catch up with the news on the radio

Local-womanizer

At most 15 minutes, usually around 6 minutes .

Heroditas

30 mins to 1 hour

20-25mins in the car. Slightly shorter in the summer.

Helix

thefishone

30 mins to 1 hour

If I take my time,a 15 minute walk:D

TwoShedsJackson

45 minutes on the Luas in the mornings, which is great, because it's a guaranteed 45 minutes uninterrupted reading time.

Get a lift home in the evenings because by then the Red Line is a cess pool.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

1 - 1.5 hours

It' s great. I mostly cycle to work and seem to have made a friend with a guy that drives a car, he repeatedly tries to knock me off the bike. It's great fun.

Especially the days where I drive and pull up beside him and just stare at him. Next week I am going to follow him to work and kill him.

Edit: 12 miles takes 42 mins cycling...1 hour driving.

Richard Hillman

2 - 2.5 hours

I leave at 7 and get there at around 8.45.

Nichololas

10-15 minutes cycle (depending on traffic)

OR

5-10 minute drive (depending on traffic) + 10 minutes looking for car parking space + 1-5 minutes walking from wherever I managed to find one.

krudler

30 mins to 1 hour

I can get out of bed at 9.30 and be sitting at my desk at 10pm on the dot.

Fr_Dougal

1 - 1.5 hours

Morning commute is less than 30min, takes me 40-55min to get home.

SouthTippBass

30 mins to 1 hour

15mins, to travel the 10 miles at an average of 60mph. Aprox.

Michael Scofield

1 - 1.5 hours

35-40 mins if I leave at 7am, 90 mins plus if I leave after 7.10am. Fine margins

phasers

5-10 minute drive to college. :cool:

holystungun9

Leave at 11 and in work for 12:30.

quickbeam

1 - 1.5 hours

Just under one hour to drive. Funnily enough my evening commute is about the same.

philologos

1 - 1.5 hours

35 - 40 minutes. Tube, and switch for train, and walking on either side.

Gamayun

1 - 1.5 hours

By bus 15-20 mins, or 35 min walk. Usually I'll walk in and get the bus out, or vice versa.

As winter rears it's ugly head the bus may have to be used for both journeys.

super_furry

30 mins to 1 hour

Five minute downhill cycle to work.

HerrScheisse

3 hour drive from the edges of paradise to the perimeter of Dante's Inferno, one bus ride on a junkie infested route, followed by the Luas through a junkie conquered wasteland - a metal pipe full of junkies, that is also infested with junkies.

Gongoozler

30 mins to 1 hour

It depends - if I get the bus it takes 30 minutes. If I walk, it takes 35 minutes.

boobar

30 mins to 1 hour

25 minutes of a lovely drive with very little traffic....

I used to have a 1.5 to 2 hour commute to work, that was sheer hell after a few years.

Rigol

kylith

30 mins to 1 hour

Takes me about 20 minutes if I cycle, 45 if I get the bus.

I overheard a guy on the Luas the other day saying he had a two and a half hour train journey ahead of him. How could you do that every day? You'd only be home and it'd be time to go to bed because you had to get up at 6am to do a 3 hour commute in the morning.

padd b1975

Usually its get out of bunk, get dressed (optional), brush teeth, piss then drive truck.

NegativeCreep

1 - 1.5 hours

Around 45 mins. I bloody hate my morning commute. The bus is always full of kids going to school. They have no idea how to conduct themselves. It'd be so much quicker if I cycled but I'm waaaay too lazy for that craic

castletownman

Distance from bed to bathroom: ten seconds.

Distance from bathroom (after morning dump and shower) to computer screen: ten seconds.

Time spent on Facebook, and mid-morning internet surfing: 25-30 minutes.

Time spent doing very little work: rest of day.

You'd be amazed how quickly you get used to it. After a while it starts to feel really good.

Where To

I've been driving to work for the last eleven years.

Please Kill Me

1 - 1.5 hours

In the car it's about 1 hour 15 minutes, on the motorbike it's just over half an hour if it's dry or 40 minutes if it's raining. Still quicker on the bike either way. So unless there's 3 feet of snow, I take the bike every day. Even at that, when we had the bad snow a couple of years ago, I still took the bike.

KungPao

30 mins to 1 hour

4 stops on the posh Luas. Not so bad.

PhlegmyMoses

30 mins to 1 hour

15 minute walk. Still always late.

G_R

30 mins to 1 hour

Driving, college takes me about 15mins (although the very odd time, I could be sitting in traffic for an hour). On the bus it's about 30mins, 40 when its busy.

Going to work, its about 20 mins either way. 10 mins if I'm doing a late shift.

Jesus! Are you stuck on the M50 or something? You missed all the Celtic Tiger craic too.

seven_eleven

1 - 1.5 hours

35-45 minutes. Biggest waste of time ever, its one of the reasons why I hate living in the countryside. Dont get me wrong, it has lots of benefits living out here but these days its just too much for me. being that far from anything remotely interesting.

UCDVet

Takes me about an hour and 15 in the morning and an hour and 20 or so coming back. That's assuming the bus doesn't break down or the next bus driver doesn't show up and we have to sit and wait 10 minutes outside the terminal.

GLaDOS

1.5 hours - 2 hours

Hour and 15 minutes, not the best but I don't mind too much

TPD

30 mins to 1 hour

7 minute freewheel cycle downhill in the morning. 15 minutes or so hard graft back up on the way home.

ButtersSuki

2 - 2.5 hours

Nightmare at the moment.

10 min walk to bus stop.
45min-1hour bus into O'Connell Street.
10-15min walk to Tara Street Station. Usually 10-15min wait for Dart that stops at Sandymount.
10-15min Dart to Sandymount.
10min walk to work.


Home - the above in reverse.
Typically 2hours door to door each way.:(

It used to be a 10min drive........ah the memories.

Defiler Of The Coffin

20 minute walk every day - nice and predictable :cool:

shopaholic01

30 mins to 1 hour

5 minute drive when schools are off, 20 - 25 minutes usually during term time.

Hooked

30 mins to 1 hour

1 mile front door to work. 1 set of lights and 1 roundabout. 5 mins in the car. Home for dinner everyday. Up at 7.30am for a run/walk with the husky, cook dinner bout 1.30 at home, feed the monster, back to work and back out with the dog after 5.30pm for a 10k. All done and dusted by 7pm with soccer 2-3 nights. I fcuking love it.

Not so thinly veiled 'I love my morning commute' reply!

cherryghost

30 mins to 1 hour

Used to take about an hour and a half each way but I got fed up with 3 hours wasted plus I'm on 12 hour shift work, so I moved closer to work. Now 15 min walk each way.

Professey Chin
