    10 mins waiting 1 hour bus ride then a 10 minute walk. Not so bad I usually get a nice nap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,106 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut


    25 mins on train, 20 mins on luas and then 20 minute walk

    Not counting waiting for trains etc. That wrecks my head

    8 mins by bike or 9-12 by car depending on lights


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,059 ✭✭✭Uriel.


    about an hour on a bus - 2minutes walk from house and 2 mins walk from job. So not bad really.

    Can drive it in about an hour as well... but bus is more cost effective and a hell of a lot less stressful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,786 ✭✭✭JJJJNR


    1 hr at about 100 km/h or 45min at 180 km/h ! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,950 ✭✭✭Pinturicchio


    15-20 minute walk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    25 minute cycle each way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 308 ✭✭beefjerky


    15 min walk
    55 mins train
    10 min walk

    15 mins if I drive legally.

    7-8 mins the other 364 days of the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭Funkfield


    20 min walk
    20 min on Luas
    20 min walk

    x2 a day

    20 hours commute a week.

    Averaging that out works out at 40 days a year spent on way to and from work.

    ********************************

    EDIT: The above is incorrect.

    2 Hours commute a day is 10 hours a week.

    Works out at, you guessed it, 20 days a year commute time.

    40 minute walk to and from college.
    Pleasant enough walk all the same - and I use the time to get my podcast fix.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    6 minute drive or 10 minute walk. You'd think I'd just walk wouldn't you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭c0rk3r


    14.52km

    2mins walk to bus
    6mins waiting on bus
    2min walk to next bus
    5mins wait on bus
    30-40min bus journey
    10-15minute walk to work
    10mins - additional time depending on days

    or

    36-40min cycle ! usually cycle unless the weather is ridiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    2 minute walk to the bus.
    About 15-20 minute bus ride. 30 minutes if the traffic is heavy.
    3 minute walk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 645 ✭✭✭big_show


    5 - 10 minute cycle x 2

    Thread needs a Poll!

    20 min drive from balbriggan to airport.

    Home at 4:30 every single day! I feel sorry for people i see leaving the train stations at 7ish in the evenings. I would hate a long commute to work.
