Driving to work would be great, but not across London where I live and work. The traffic can be fiendish and we have to pay to drive through the centre of town.

I drive - about a 22 minute country drive to my Mom's house to drop off my daughter and then a 3 minute ride to work.....I sure miss living with my parents - I could sleep much later and get to work on time. Carol  |

If it's a working from home day, either across the landing to my office, or up the stairs if I've been downstairs! If it's a day I'm out, then I drive. It usually takes me anything from 15-30 minutes to get where I'm going and park, depending on traffic and what school holidays there are! It's currently the Easter break and so the rush hour traffic (such as it is after 9 am) is relatively quiet so the journey time when out is currently halved. Jackie, Peer Moderator www.iqps.org |

I guess I am very very lucky.....................all of a 2 mile/5 min drive down a country lane and I am at work. I can even pop home at lunchtime to let my dog out too!  |

I drive too and it's 10 minutes if there's no traffic, so I sometimes go home at lunch time. I would vastly prefer to take public transportation and do the environment a favor, but our town isn't really set up for that--I'd have to ride to a central transfer point and then take another bus to get out here (kind of like flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles with a stopover in Denver). In warm weather, I'd rather ride my bike for the exercise, but I have to pick up my son at school and that's ten minutes (by car) in the OTHER direction from my house, so no way.
If I could walk or take public transportation, I'd do that for just about every destination but the supermarket.

I take the Good ol' MBTA (Mass. Bay Transit Authority) in the form of the "commuter rail". I have a ten minute drive to the train station in the next town over from me and the train ride can range from 50 minutes to an hour - it just depends on the # of stops ("express" or "local") and the # of people at each stop. After the train, I have a 5 minute walk to my office. All in all, it's not too bad. I can drive if I want to, but do so only on a rare occasion. The cost for gas and the wear and tear on my car is not worth driving into Boston every day.

Me too - except I don't have a dog to go home to!
I feel sorry for my car though - it is probably dying for a long drive!!!

I work at home so I don't have to travel. If it wasn't for taking the kids to school I wouldn't have to do any travelling. Edited by jackie on 10/04/06 07:48 PM. |
