how much does it cost you to get to work?

Half hour walk each way for me, so nothing. Which is handy, as I make less in a month than half of the people here pay for transport :p
 
2 years ago in January Aberdeen First Bus put it's Yearly pass up £60 to £660. That week I bought a crap bike from Halfords for £200 and have cycled every day to work. Cost in the light's, oil, weather protection stuff and it cost me not a lot.

So free travel these day's. 15-20 min's to work 20-25 min's back to home.
 
I'm just about to move further out of the city so a it more than it used to be but still only about 2% of my pay. It does take an hour each way but when you're waking up and getting home to this it makes it all worth while.

This would all go against your P11D, but I'm certain certain private mileage can cause you some issues.

I pay normal company car tax, based on the P11D.
I also pay car fuel benefit which is a set monthly amount based on the vehicle's CO2 figure.

It doesn't matter if I do 1 private mile a month or 10000 private miles a month, my payment remains the same. Same goes for business miles.

I have access to unlimited fuel from our own supplies via a fuel key and I can use as much as I like for business or private use.

Aren't you quite severely visually impaired? You can't get a FREE Bus Pass? You should look into (Yeah..I know..bad pun..:o) getting a Bus/Rail Pass could save you some cash hopefully! :)

Yes I am visually impaired! I do have the disabled person's rail card (same as young person's @ 33% off ticket price), so I will make some enquiries about a bus pass. Thanks :-)

Yep I have this, iirc I could have the bus pass or railcard I chose bus pass but rules may have changed enabling you to have both.

Mine is £48 a week but I get most of this back.
 
This thread has reminded me just how crazy public transport costs are in the UK.
A 7 day transport card for London is £58.
The equivalent card (better actually) for Budapest is about £12.

This doesn't really mean anything, without a comparison of wages and taxes.

My train ticket and travel card comes to £629 a month, but that's the price to pay to live in blissful countryside and still get to the London office in under an hour and a half door to door.

An hour & half to get to work...:eek:

I have to be at work before 7am that would mean I have to get up at about 4.30am..
and I finish at 6pm so that would be 7.30pm to get home


Blow that....
