 Topic: Your journey to work?
Posted: March 23 2013 at 10:43 |
What is the (Main way) you get to work / school / college on a normal day? (Boring I know but I'm interested) Please tell us a bit more if you care!
I ride a bicycle every day and I wouldn't have it any other way. I really enjoy my journey and most of it is on a cycle path so I can stay away from those nasty cars  |

Either 15 minutes walk and 20 minutes on the metro, or 45-50 minutes by bike. Generally it's the first in the morning and the second in the evening (renting a city bike). Ain't nobody getting me out of bed TEN TO FIFTEEN minutes early just for a marginally greener planet.

I live in Southern California. My gas pedal feels like a growth on the bottom of my foot. I have to admit that I drive everywhere!

Atlanta's like that too. Everywhere is a 30 minute drive to everywhere else, and the public transport system is fairly limited.

My journey to work usually involves outrunning the police, driving on the wrong side of the road or in the center lane when the traffic on my side is moving too slowly, mowing down random pedestrians and tendonitis from overusing my middle finger.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Car. 5-mile drive. Can take 10 minutes on a good day; a 1/2 hour or more on a bad day.

8 miles; drive 15-20 minutes.
A new light rail is opening up near my work in April, but I'd have to drive half the way (time-wise, anyway) to get to it, so little point.

For the part of my work that I cannot do at my desk at home, I use - almost always - my car.

Other: mixed. I go to one job by foot (6 min). I go to another job on my car (20 min with medium traffic). I go to university on the bus (25-30 min) 'cause my mother uses my car. That's the arrangement.
The buses are the worst. F$%king public transportation. I get to smell the BO of the lowlife folks around me.
