Whats Your Daily Commute?

[bluestreak56]

Seems as though quite a few zed owners have long commutes and / or another mode of transport making their cars a weekend toy or the such like.

What is your daily commute like? and how to do you travel?

Mine's 210 miles each way, but only once a week. So a total of 420 miles over 4 days, which is still in the 100+ category

I travel around 700-800 miles per week in my company car .

I was a white van man until i bought my red primastar recently ,now i,m more courteous & considerate on my commute
70miles a day / £13 / 1hr 10mins each way but split with my working partner so £33ish a week fuel & i'm asleep when he drives

I travel between 700 and 1000 miles per week in the company car.

I'm 30 miles each way. Hen i had the Z, on the days i used it I would take the back road which was a little longer. Getting stuck in traffic on the motorway was never much fun in the z and it happens with far too much regularity.

7 miles one way to work each day (but in a 900cc Fiat Cinquecento). Zed is a weekend car / toy.

17 miles each way for me all on a bus. I sleep on the way to work (when it not too cold on the bus) and read on the way home. Although its about a 35 mile round trip it's about 2 - 3 hours a day if I could drive and park at work I wouldn't. It would still take the same amount of time. I love our transport network :thumbsdown:

 

[marypoppins]

21 miles each way and sick of travelling. Zed for weekends only.

I'm classed as a mobile worker so I don't have a set commute. Some days I work in the centre of Birmingham, some days in central London, some days at home and others anywhere in the UK looking at some of our existing sites or potential new ones to buy. My trips to Birmingham and London are always by train so my weekly mileage in the Honda daily driver is circa 200 miles max. The Zed is a weekend toy only.

Walk to the station. Sit on one train. Walk to uni. Repeat for home journey.

All on the wonderful underground.

 

[Bradders75]

40 miles round trip but I use an old Polo diesel so the Zed is kept fresh for the weekends.

I have a 4 mile drive three times a week usually in a pug 107xs unless the suns out or blue sky then it's the z then I wish the journey was longer i always warm the car up first so can go in sports mode along the twisty a50 sometimes go the long wat round adding another 2 miles

 

[ZermattV]

Helicopter

 

[Z4Bob]

120 miles round trip, usually in my 13 year old Yaris (cause it does over 50mpg and tyres parts and insurance are cheap).

Mind you, getting tired of after 2 years. So, when I worked out that tax changes this year will see me working Fridays for less than £15 in my hand, I asked to drop my hours to work 4 days a week.

 

[Cassie-UK]

500+ miles per week in my poor zed :-( Hopefully a new job closer to home is around the corner!

 

[RubyBlueZ4MC]

My new job is a short walk away so the Zed has become a weekend toy.

2 floors down.

Sometimes I take the scenic route via the kitchen to get tea before walking into my office..

 

[twist944]

I got fed up of commutes so compromised my home in the country for a flat in the city... Well, just outside Bolton ha. Save myself 1.5 hours a day and when it's not raining I can cycle and it takes just as long as driving!

Boom.
