Commute to work time

CookieLover

How long does it take you to commute and how far would you be willing to go?

Mine is a 20 minute walk. My limit would be a 1 hour drive.

Mine's what it was on the similar thread a few weeks back.

myshirt

40 minute moon walk, finished by high fiving people as I walk in the door for another smashing day in the office.

punisher5112

A gaurd wouldn't ask me that....

The amount of tools that have asked me that today alone is astonishing....

How long will it take on a different day at a different time on a different route.....


One I couldn't give a flying rats ass and two I don't know check Google...

Mine is a twelve minute walk. Previously I had approximately an hour and fifteen minute commute which was reliant on public transport.

It costs more to live where I live now but the quality of life I have now is worth more than the difference in rent, definitely. Per day it is over two hours I have back which are now no longer wasted on commuting. Waking up at 8:45 to stroll in around 9:15, with zero stress, if I felt like sleeping in or working late but then getting home from work less than 15 mins after I left kills the stress of working late. Being in the city centre of Dublin now, outside of work it is so much better to be able to walk to the main shops and bars for nights out.

My main point with the above is that commuting to work which takes a huge portion of waking hours and is unpaid by one’s employer is, in my view, wasting one’s life.

spock.

25 minute cycle

Elessar

10 mins in the car. Soon to be 15 mins. That is my limit. I could earn 30-40% more if I would be willing to commute further & get the train/bus but it's too handy. Not having a commute is worth so much for work life balance.

I'd have to be guaranteed to work from home x3 a week a least if I was to be tempted to leave.

I agree i think its complete wasted time.

What time do you leave for work and arrive home, is that 5 days a week?

Nettle Soup

12 miles, 25 minutes.

micar

1 hour cycle each way....much quicker than the bus.

Car would take about 40 mins

n!ghtmancometh

40 mins or so Luas & bus. Bus on it's own is guts of an hour thanks to twats blocking bus lanes and dropping their fat kids to the school gate.

HONKEY TONK

Well it's 10 feet from the bedroom to the top of the stairs.

There is 14 steps down to the hall way.

15 feet to the coffee machine in the kitchen.

25 feet from the coffee machine to my work laptop

95 minute drive. No traffic. I must be mad!

Between 20 and 30 mins drive depending on traffic, about 10km each way.

How far is be willing to commute would depend on where I was living, if I can get work within commuting distance of where I want to live and settle down (my home area) I'd probably put up with over an hours commute maybe 1.5 hours. Otherwise about 40 mins or so would be about as much as I'd want, less preferably.

Would also depend on the type of commute, 1 hours drive cross country with no traffic, always taking the same amount of time day to day etc is a lot easier than a shorter in distance but slow moving in traffic 1 hours drive where everyday the time varies due to accidents, holds ups etc.

theteal

Back when I were a lad, we used wear bags on our feet and it only took 4 minutes to walk dickity four miles through the snow, uphill both to and from home

Beasty

30 mins in the car, 45-50 on the bike (although I did manage the 23km in 36 minutes at an average of 38 km/h one quite breezy day back in 2012)

pauliebdub

About an hour to get in and a little longer to get home. It's something I'm getting tired of.

Autosport

30mins to work (school traffic) and 20 mins home

KERSPLAT!

About 15 minutes, absolutely ideal. I did the whole 2 hour each way commute and hated it. I'd have to think long and hard before looking to move elsewhere if the commute was more than 30 minutes each way, I've feck all time as it is!

notsoyoungwan

5-8 mins drive if I leave at the right time, if not it takes about 20 mins

I leave at about 6.15am and arrive home between 6.30-7.00pm five days a week.

I'm thinking it's probably not the healthiest.

Apocalypticism

in total 4h per day, someone kill me please

con___manx1

30 mins drive compared to 5 mins in my last job

erica74

Currently 15 minutes

I have done a 2 hour (each way) commute because it was that or no job. My husband did a 2.5 hour (each way) commute because it was that or no job. Those long commutes are not easy, particularly when public transport isn't an option but, when you have no choice, you just have to get on with it. My husband spent his commutes listening to documentaries on YouTube so now, he starts a lot of conversations with "did you know...?" :pac:

A sneaky attempt to suss out whose houses are empty until what times in preparation for an oul' burglary spree methinks

TPD

30 second walk. I wouldn't mind a commute of 45 mins to an hour, as long as it was on a reliable and not too crowded public transport. Got a Nintendo switch at Christmas so I'd be kept busy.

rainbow kirby

Literally zero. I'm on maternity leave and share a room with my 2 year old and 16 week old taskmasters!

heroics

Moved to 7-3 shift so about 30mins each way.

8-4 Shift was 45-60mins each way


If I had to do 9-5 I wouldn't be working here

namloc1980

30 minutes each way. That's the max I'd do. No way I'd do those 3-4 hour round trip commutes so many people do. No job is worth that.

facehugger99

15 minute drive through the countryside.

Some people don't have the luxury of a choice - I know I didn't when I used to commute to Dublin. There was mortgage, bills and kids to pay for - it certainly wasn't out of love for the job.

Amazing what you'll do when you have no choice.

ELM327

45 mins mostly motorway.
30 mins if I'm in at the weekend.

Richard Hillman

1 hour each way. Leave about 1 hour, 15 mins before I need to be in work and hang around in the vicinity to have a cigarette/contemplate where life went wrong before I go in

Asmooh

People are complaining about little distance.
My trip is like:
30 mins country side from home
30 min motorway
60 min country side from motorway to work

single way is 86mi.

leaving from home: 4.45 +-
Arriving at work: 6.35 +-

Leaving from Work: 15.35
Arriving Home: 17.40 +-

killanena

30 minute walk every morning at 5:25. I love of this time of year as the sun is just starting to come up and its very quite and peaceful at that time where I live. Winter time is not so great.. :P
