Your daily commute

Wow, I hope the wage is good having to shell out £40-50 for the commute!

My commute is via tram, it takes me 15-20 minutes and costs me about £3 a day...

GRM

100 miles each way; 9 miles car, 89 miles train, 2 miles tube.

Cost is ~£850/month.

Takes around 1h50m each way door-to-desk.

Wow.
For some people (including me) that would be just about their whole wage! lol.
40 hrs at work per week to break-even

Five minute walk, thankfully.

I live about 8 miles from work and cycle in, takes me 25-30mins, and doesn't cost me a penny.

I don't really care how far the commute is, i'm more concernd with the time it takes, i wouldn't want to commute more than an hour each way

What's mad about that is that my commute is only 25 minutes shorter each way, but I'm 13 miles each way!

Two minute walk. No costs apart from the sweets from the corner shop.

The job I had before this one was a minimum of an hour and a half drive, so this is a real change.

2.5hrs each way door to door, monthly season ticket cost is around £425/month I think.

Only do it 3 days a week for the last 3 years, but that doesn't affect the cost as it's about £54 a day for a return so would still cost more. did it 4-5 days a week for a few years before that, but it got a bit unsustainable.

4.2k for train costs, plus a bit of petrol and occasional parking charges
Takes approx an hour and 20 minutes - car to near the station, train in, bus, then walk
Wouldn't be so bad if it was just one transport type door to door!

I'm a self-employed chauffeur and private hire driver.

My client lives 11 miles away, which can take between 20 and 45 minutes to get to this home, depeding on whether I need to pick him up at 6 in the morning, or 6 in the evening.

If I do other private hire work for other firms, quite often picks up would be at either Heathrow Airport or Central London (10-15 miles - depending on terminal/where in Central London, 30-60 mins away, obviously dependent on time of day).

It's convenient living where I am, wouldn't want to travel any further, for either my client or other work. Besides all business related motoring expenditure is tax relief'd anyway.
