Hi there,

I'm currently working in Medtronic Galway and commuting from Loughrea. But I need to find a new lift to work soon. I start work ideally at 8am but earlier would be fine. I live near the main link road from loughrea to the motorway and could meet you there. Obviously I will split petrol costs. If you PM me your number I will get in touch asap. Or if you know someone working there I'd be greatful if you could put me in touch.

Thanks,
Francis

Galway to Limerick car share, Monday to Friday. Leave Galway 7am, return from Limerick 4pm. Looking to car pool and share petrol. Female only.

Hi all. I'm looking for a lift from the Knocknacarra area to Parkmore, preferably around the Technology Park, Monday to Friday. Work starts at 9 and finishes at 6 but if the home journey in the evening didn't suit I wouldn't mind as I'd prefer a reliable method of getting to work in the morning. Any offers greatly appreciated.

Havent used it myself, but you may find it useful

Thanks for that, much appreciated. I have signed up but users in Galway seem a bit sparse at the moment.

Besides here, try putting a notice up at work to see if someone lives in Knockers?

Wot biko said.

Most companies in Parkmore have a start time earlier than 9, so you'd probably be best off looking in your own workplace. (Assuming there's a few employees!)

You can use www.viamichelin.com to calculate petrol costs to share.
It gives me an estimate of 3 euro one way between Knockers and Parkmore.

Ouch.

An all-day bus ticket is only E3.70 (assuming you don't need to use City Direct).

I know, it's a painful trip, you'd probably need to be on the bus from there by 7:30, and not get home til 7:30pm.

But still ... less than the cost of petrol alone is impressive.

Car Share Wanted; Galway to Athlone

Anyone travel from Galway (specifically Wellpark/Renmore area, but will meet wherever suits) to Athlone town?

Will be without the van for a few weeks and don't really fancy depending on busses.
Need to be there for 8:30am and returning around 5'ish.

Long shot maybe but if anyone makes that journey and fancies cutting the fuel costs a bit, pm me please!

Thanks, GB.

in fairness, I doubt that calculates traffic etc. which will increase the price of petrol. also, cars don't only need fuel to make them go. brakes, tyres and everything else costs money. wouldn't kill the person to pay an extra couple of euro and call it a fiver.

I know what you're saying, and I was a bus person up until my mid 20s. But at some point I realised that my time was worth more to me than the money it would cost to run a car.

That used to be my day. I'd hop on a bus at 7am, and hop off another around 6pm. Now my day is 7.15 to 4.45. It might not seem like much, but it's time with my kid.

Long shot

I know this is a long shot but does anyone commute from Galway to Dublin on and Thursday and Friday?

Anywhere in Dublin city Centre is fine. I was offered a part time job and I'm trying to see if commuting from Galway (where my other part time job is) is an option!

Thanks.

By the time you pay a share of petrol and tolls, the bus is probably cheaper, and with bus lanes takes about the same time.

anyone doing galway to athlone? also galway city to barna? early mornings! looking for a lift and splitting costs, thanks!

bardub

anyone going galway to limerick or UL monday to friday or less, would contribute towards petrol costs

biko

bardub, no need to bring back two threads. I have merged them and removed one of your posts.

Dutchess

I am looking for potential lifts from Merlin Park area to Parkmore (SAP) and back this week. If anyone is taking that route, please PM. Would contribute petrol.

I drive to Spiddal from Galway City 5 days a fortnight (yeah... sounds weird right?). Leaving about 2pm. Free lift out to anyone that wants it, but no ride back... unless you're coming back at 3am.

I'm still doing this run fortnightly. Handy even as a once off for people...

Hi all

I am living in Loughrea and commute to Parkmore in Galway daily, I work Monday to Friday my hours are 8.30am to 5pm (4pm on a Friday). I was wondering if there is anyone interested in car pooling if travelling in the same direction at same times?

Thank you.

motley

I'm wondering does anyone travel to Galway to Athlone weekdays? Would be helpful If I could get a lift on some days during the week. Would need to be in Athlone for 8am though.

emzippy

I hope it's ok to post this twice - mods I also posted it in commuting and transport but might get a response from here.

Hi All,

I will be commuting from Galway to Monksland, Athlone from Monday to Friday (9am - 5pm) starting in June.

Does anyone also do this who would be interested in sharing the commute?

Thanks

Sorry I can't help you but if you have a boards account that you post through usually it might be better to put your request up via that. People might feel more confident travelling with someone they recognise here.
