How many days a week are you late to work, due to public transport going wrong?

Question

For me it's about 3 out of 5. Waiting for buses, getting stuck in the tunnel on the underground, the possibilities are endless...

Gerbil, I am v jealous. If I could afford the Congestion fee, and how a parking space, I'd be doing that too!

Answer 1

haha yeah...when i lived in london a few years back, i quickly learned to leave home with ample time to spare in case of public transport delays...

Answer 2

I do not live in LONDON.

I live in a most vibrant but most chaotic (transport wise) city of MUMBAI in India. Everyday I travel about 65kms to reach my office from home. But I rarely report late for the work. I do start about half an hour early than the requisite time of departure. It ensures that I report most of the times before the office hour starts. Why not emulate this?

I wish you " reaching early or on the time " to the work. I know it's a stressful thing to reach late to the work.

Answer 3

None thankfully. I live outside of the zone system and only live a 10 mins walk from my work. I would hate to commute

Answer 4

None. I drive. I know it's not enviromentally friendly but nothing would make me get on Ken Livingstone's beloved transport system.

Answer 5

about twice in the last year.
I commute into Edinburgh from a park and ride site, the train is always on time and me and my train buddies always get to sit together.
Sickening, isn't it?

Answer 6

None, as I make sure I leave for work in plenty of time.

Answer 7

that's why i use my mountain bike.... maybe once a month i get a puncture and I'm late but generally it's stress free.

Answer 8

none seriously
