How long is your commute to work?

90 seconds... live in a barracks.

Getting to sleep for 45 minutes after my food at lunch is priceless

Surveyor11 · 20-10-2013 11:36AM

Just under 20km cycle each way, 35 - 40 minutes depending on traffic and energy levels.

Carlos Orange · 20-10-2013 11:38AM

20 minute walk. Might drive me nuts if I went back to anything longer.

Mycroft H · 20-10-2013 11:42AM

1hr 15m to work and about 2hrs30 to college. College is only two long days a week

nlgbbbblth · 20-10-2013 11:51AM

35 - 40 minute drive in morning.

50 - 60 minutes coming home.

Rain, darkness and more cars on road since beginning September seem to slow things up.

Miss Lockhart · 20-10-2013 11:51AM

10 to 30 minutes by car depending on traffic.

Kintarō Hattori · 20-10-2013 11:53AM

Leave the house at 7:10am and arrive into the building at 8:40. The time spent involves cycling, train and a short walk to the office. I don't mind it as the train is always good for a snooze.

osarusan · 20-10-2013 11:59AM

25 minute walk or 3 minutes on the train (+ 3 minutes from home to the train station)

Rasheed · 20-10-2013 12:04PM

Two minutes. If there is a tractor in front of me, 5 minutes.

LostBoy101 · 20-10-2013 12:08PM

To college 10 mins to bus stop and 15-20 mins to IFSC then 5 mins walk.

evlgmaojr27ypu · 20-10-2013 12:10PM

about an hour, that is if Dublin bus every decides to become reliable and consistent

jester77 · 20-10-2013 12:26PM

Depends on how I go. 20 mins walking + underground or about 30-40 with boat.

vitani · 20-10-2013 12:27PM

I leave the house just after 8 and am in work by about 8.50 every day. I'm usually home around 6pm. I used to work in a job which meant leaving the house at 7.20 and not getting home until nearly 7 at night. It was exhausting.

Muise... · 20-10-2013 12:29PM

sometimes a 20 minute cycle, sometimes a one minute shuffle into the spare room, ahem, "studio". Depends on the weather and the humour I'm in.

Wolf Club · 20-10-2013 01:01PM

7-10 minute cycle, i remember in the past I had to do longer commutes and I was actually more likely to be on time for work then!

old_aussie · 20-10-2013 01:06PM

About 10 seconds from the bedroom to the office.

falan · 20-10-2013 01:09PM

5 mins drive in the mornings, 10 in the evenings due to rush hour...fml.

QuiteInterestin · 20-10-2013 01:17PM

8-12 minute drive depending on traffic

According to google maps its a 30 minute walk but too lazy to confirm that. Some day..

UCDVet · 20-10-2013 01:18PM

If I cycle into work, it's going to take me about 40 minutes *on the bicycle*. That doesn't include the additional time of getting dressed in my cycle gear, packing a change of clothes, inflating the tires, fighting for a parking spot, going to the bathroom at work, changing out of my cycling clothes and into my work clothes, and spending five minutes or so trying to clean myself up. All included it's about an hour.

If I take the bus into work, it's really just a question of how many full 145/46As zip past the stop. 35 minutes if I get to the bus stop at 6:15am....60-65 minutes if I get to the bus stop around 8:00am.

Commuting is probably the worst part of my day.

Do you work on top of a mountain? Or maybe I just cycle very very slowly in ordinary clothes on my high nellie.

Chattastrophe! · 20-10-2013 01:28PM

15 minute walk to the train station, about half an hour on the train, ten minute walk to the office. So around an hour altogether.

Galwayguy35 · 20-10-2013 01:29PM

45 min drive, it's a distance of 50km but the roads are usually quiet.

jms2013 · 20-10-2013 01:36PM

5 minutes drive. My last job was a 6 hour commute (not everyday), so enjoying the short trip this time round.

No mountains....my trip is about 10km each way (traffic is pretty bad though). I work in an office with 'business casual' dress; and it tends get pretty cold in the winter and Ireland has no shortage of rain.

I occasionally see someone in a suit on a bicycle - but only on nice days and from the looks of them, they aren't going very far or pedaling very hard.

herisson · 20-10-2013 02:04PM

10 minute drive.

EazyD · 20-10-2013 02:16PM

Really satisfying cycling past all the motorists struck in traffic around the city centre.[/quote]

Your satisfied by observing others problems. Just wow

If you ever cycled a bike or rode a motorbike in Dublin you would understand.

People make a choice to sit in their cars in Dublin in rush hour and inch along. Its a bit stupid in my view to do that and if you are on two wheels wizzing by them you can't help but feel sorry for the cagers.

It's smugness but so what.

April O Neill · 20-10-2013 02:22PM

Doing a post-grad at the moment.

45 minute bus journey to and from at peak times.

35 minutes off-peak.

murria · 20-10-2013 02:23PM

25-30 minutes in the morning rush hour traffic. Home in 10-15 in the early afternoon.

Yes!!!!!!!

I get the bus to work once a week. It can takes about 75-90 mins.
Been on the bus and once it took 2 hours to get home. Depressing!!!!!

It's brilliant as my commute on the bike is the same every day give or take a few minutes.

I love cycling up constitution hill when It';s really really busy and passing all the motorists.

Nothing worse than not moving in traffic!!!!! Give me the bike any day!!!!!
