How much does your Commute cost you?

titchard · 4 Oct 2008 at 17:49

Nothing - it takes me 10-15 mins to walk to work.

It would be probably about £150 of diesel... that would be if I went into work each day, but I usually go straight to a call = business mileage = paid for by the company, so it's probably less than half of that.

£250 - £300 depending on the number of working days in a month. Now down to £120 - £150 thanks to a change in car and no I don't get paid any additional for it but it's worth it

To college getting a return ticket 2 days a week for £2.40 then a mid-day return for £1.90 is £6.70 a week, so around £26.80 a month depending on what day's i go in.

50 mile round trip at ~35mpg if I take it easy so just under 1.5 gallons a day

At £1.12 per litre that's about £7.26 per day so £36.32 per week, £145.28 per month

Good stuff El, you going to be using the LCR or BMW for that run?

What are you going to be doing now?

Same old same old (IT network administrator).

I'll be getting an e36 M3 shortly

50 miles there, 50 back. £80-90 a month in fuel as I lift share. So I drive 8 days a month and he drives the other 8.

£109 per month for monthly travelcard, although you could probably slice some off that because I almost always use it a couple of weekends for getting about, probably £100 - top value really.

Everyone that lives under 4/5 miles away from work, I suggest you buy a bike, and cycle. It's what I do for college/work every day of the week, cheaper and better for you xD

Just a suggestion

£2,860 p/a.

Alternatively, no.

I cycle for pleasure, out in the countryside, off-road, where I can have a laugh doing so.

I have no desire to cycle on the public road, avoiding near misses by idiotic drivers (no, not all of them, but a lot exist), inhaling exhaust emissions, arriving sweaty, hot, and (if the weather isn't exactly clement, which is frequent in the UK) drenched.

I'll stick to my car(s) if its all the same to you.

£40-50 a month (£10 weekly pass)

Floyd · 4 Oct 2008 at 18:56

£207.40 a month train season ticket from Hertfordshire to London. Wouldn't mind paying it if I was guaranteed a seat

Sankari · 4 Oct 2008 at 19:13

Around £45 a month; the cost of filling my car.

Red Porsche · 4 Oct 2008 at 19:15

£270 for a three term bus pass to college. 15 miles each way.

lokkers · 4 Oct 2008 at 19:19

Start a new job next week, so I'm expecting about £100p/m on the train. My wife pays about £260

VTR · 4 Oct 2008 at 19:21

Around 60 miles a month commuting (3 miles round trip, 5 days a week) so probably around £15 a month on petrol

About 4 miles there and back which takes approx 5 mins or less, costs about 50p I guess.

I'm exactly the same distance but I worked it out at around 20p a mile.

mattyrigby00 · 4 Oct 2008 at 19:31

£48 per half term.

Mint_Sauce · 4 Oct 2008 at 19:34

£0 as work from home as does my fiancee! When we were working in London it was £80 a month train fares for me and over £130 for her I think.
