    When I went to college it was 4 hours on the bus each day.

    Got a lot reading done on the bus.
    You didn't think of moving there no?

    I drive 10 miles each way with average 1/2 hour for a trip and regret that it is a bit far.. Probably I need to drive 60 miles each way to understand how happy I am..:rolleyes:

    Hey, at least you finished reading that book.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I walk about 1.3 km.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    I commute from Dublin to Sydney every morning, there's nothing like that feeling you get for a hard day's work after a 10,000 mile flight....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭PseudoFamous


    I walk about 700m to my bus stop, bus for 72km, walk for just under 2km. It's a journey..


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    That's only a 40 minute drive.

    On a motorway maybe...

    63 miles around here is the equivalent of driving to the moon and back twice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Used to drive from Waterford to Clontarf for 2/3 days a week for a little while. Leaving Dunmore East at 4am to be in for 7am on a 125cc motorbike in the lashing rain.

    By far the worst commute was a truck driver I knew who lived just over the border in Galway who drove to Dublin in his car, did a shift driving his truck at night delivering to Supermarkets all over the country so could be pretty near home, dropped the truck off back in Dublin then drove home back to Galway. 4 days on 4 days off doing that shift. All I can say is the guy must have loved driving.

    A maths teacher in my old secondary school used to drive an hour and a half each way. He was a weird guy.

    the fact that it takes over 12 hrs. of flight to even get to sydney from dublin puts a big whole in that story so would take over 24 hrs to get back to dub without doing any work ...
    dreaming off being superman flying around the world is not a commute to work my friend:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 824 ✭✭✭studdlymurphy


    72 miles each way it takes on average 70 minutes each way and its 12 hour shifts which makes for a long day.

    When you spend 4 hours a day on a bus you finish a lot of books.

    Have you seen the kindle thread on Bargain Alerts?
