How far do you commute to work?

Sykk · 24-08-2010 11:58AM #1

There's been this thread a few months back afair. But times change and people get jobs etc.

I spend 20 mins walking in every day around ~2km, thinking of moving North Side for cheaper rent, would make my journey 45-60 mins.. What do ya'll do?

kfallon · 24-08-2010 11:59AM

2 min walk...get in, 1-0, game over

Sometimes I cycle, sometimes I drive. Depends on if feeling lazy / it's raining

Takes about 5 minutes for both.

A 22 minute drive

(every extra minute in bed counts)

30 miles each way if it's just me, 35 miles each way if my wife is in the car as she works a couple of minutes further down the road

30min walk/15min cycle or 5 mins in a car on the really shítty winter mornings.

Commuting will be a thing for the well off only in 15 years or so when oil prices really start to shoot up.

I used to commute roughly 20 hours per week (2hrs in morning, 2 hours evening x 5 days a week) The majority of this was spent in traffic, travelling from town 30 miles down the N3.

i have since moved job and the commute is now just 20 mins. It's only when i look back at the commute to Dublin used to struggle through that I realise how soul destroying it was.

Notorious97 · 24-08-2010 12:06PM

Half hour drive in every day to Dublin 1, not bad, wish they would reopen college green though, quays can be too busy some days!

hitman79 · 24-08-2010 12:10PM

About 24 mins across 15 miles of the back roads from hell which are covered in pot holes

SV · 24-08-2010 12:10PM

10 minute drive each way/
tis grand

not exactly a commute is it

Corruptedmorals · 24-08-2010 12:12PM

40 minute bus journey. I work off-peak hours, can be 22 minutes sunday mornings

Jimmy Bottlehead · 24-08-2010 12:13PM

Nip from Ballymun onto the M50, onto the M1, come off the Skerries exit, shoot up to Swords, and Bob is indeed your uncle. 15-20 minutes each way.

Handy.

blaze1 · 24-08-2010 12:13PM

bus today..

yesterday it was the cycle.... till i stacked it:rolleyes:

Wazdakka · 24-08-2010 12:14PM

Too Bloody far.

I Live in Monkstown and the office is in Swords.
That's more than the entire M50... twice a day.. With tolls..

Costs me about 450 yoyo a month just getting in and out of the office

When I had the car, 15 mins each way.. was always against the traffic. now it takes six mins to reach eyre square nd a half hour on the bus.. I think it's great cause gift over an hour of good music/reading/mobile boards a day.

24-08-2010 12:17PM

20 to 25 minutes to get in in the morning 25 to 35 minutes getting home in the evening.

I live about 12 km from work and cycle.

Ms. Captain M · 24-08-2010 12:17PM

5 minute walk

mickos · 24-08-2010 12:19PM

16 minute drive for me. Left early this morning and got stuck in a line of traffic behind a knob doing 35MPH, which meant I didn't arrive early at all. Last time I'll make that mistake;)

R0ot · 24-08-2010 12:22PM

30 second walk to bus stop, 30-40 minute bus journey (x), 3-4 minute walk to another bus stop and finally another 20-30 minute bus journey. Coming home add another 20 minutes to the overall journey due to traffic and not having any X buses available.

NothingMan · 24-08-2010 12:25PM

4 minute walk when I'm in HQ.

Then they started making me work in different sites the odd time so sometimes a 25 minute Luas journey and an 8 minute walk.

tolosenc · 24-08-2010 12:25PM

28.5 mile roundtrip. Dublin City Centre in the middle of it. Can take an hour each way...

kylith · 24-08-2010 12:30PM

I've a 5km commute and I cycle. It takes me 25min door-to-door. When the weather gets horrible I get the bus, which takes twice as long, but I get to read.
