How much money do you spend on travelling to work?

I work around 27 days a year on an ad hoc basis.
I take the tube to work, tube back home or tube and bus home if I finish late, around 11.30pm.
It costs me either
£5.35/£4.70/£4 to get to work and back home. I live in Zone 2 in London, and need to travel through Zone 1.
How much money do you spend on travelling to work? What form of transport do you use? and does it take a small or significant amount of your weekly salary?

My oh it's approx £300 pw.
Train taxi tube etc
Mine £30 pm by car It's all relative to the salary though.0 -
£40 a week by carEven a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.0

I will be spending at least £350 a week when I start my new job. It's quite depressing thinking about it but It's still better than no job!0

I am about to start a job - calculated the cost and I figure fuel and anticipated car running costs will be £80/month. Bound to be some unexpected car running costs as it ages though....
Car journey is 30 minutes each way when nobody else is on the roads.... more like 45-50 probably (yet to see) with commuter traffic. Bus end to end (including walking) is 1.5 hours each way and costs £50/month.0 -
£131.40/month on zones 1-3 travelcard (or £1368/year when I'm organised enough to get an annual travelcard). Usually the train but occasionally bus + tube if the trains go foobar or I do something socially. It's a relatively small part of my net salary."Save £12k in 2019" #120 - £100,699.57/£100,0000

I'd say I spend about £40/month petrol to get to work, but then I work for a train company so I travel free to one of my jobs, just the drive to the station and the drive to my second job makes up this cost!0

I buy an annual ticket and it costs £4300 (due to go up in January)."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

Well I had to buy a car for my current job, so I'm counting the total cost of owning and running the car here + petrol to get to work. It comes out at about £350/mth.
And then (my half of) the childcare bill is about the same again. Quite depressing really.0 -
My husband drops me off and picks me up. I don't know what the cost it.0
