How much do you spend on transportation coming to work?

[Ja sa bong]

I do not think that workers has another alternative of transportation to work. Most people can not ride on bicycle that can go without fuel. It is the role of government to make things easier for them..

I won't use bicycle as a means of my transportation to the office every day. For long am I supposed to do it before everything normalises? Using bicycles every day to work will make it difficult for me to be 100% at work. I will be having too much stress going through my body.

I think it is not advisable to use bicycle especially if you are not used to riding it as it could cause accident. Many people who are employed use more than half of their monthly earnings for transportation to the office..

We actually have something similar to this bus system in my country but the problem with them is that those who are employed to work and maintain the bus system are usually careless and nonchalant about it because it is a government job. So it makes them not to take care of the buses and most of them usually end up breaking down easily.

Our government recently started this project around five years ago. The tickets of the bus are pretty cheap and this is quite a big surprise for me. However, they do not run those buses using fuel. These buses are operated using batteries, as far as I know. So, the tickets are quite cheap in here.

There's been cases of hit and run with cyclers in my country. A biker would be riding in bikers lane and before you know what's going on, the biker is being hit or run over by a car. I won't put myself in such position.

It's really one of the biggest expenses of my earnings during the month because I go back and forth every day. My salary is close to a thousand dollars a month, and the bus costs 5 dollars both ways, and I don’t always travel only by bus, if, for example, you need to take a taxi, it costs from 20 dollars for one trip

I spend roughly $90 a month on gas. This is while driving a hybrid. Otherwise, I would be spending $160 to $190 like I was before with my older car.

Well, the good thing is that the government started a new bus service and this bus service has helped many people save money. The downside is that the bus service is not available in all parts of the city. So, using a motorcycle might be the only option many people have.

I stay within 1 km from my office so I commute by walk. Major reasons behind finding a place near office are the huge travel cost, traffic and pollution on road due to traffic.

I've been using the bus service transportation too and it's cheap. We use a bus pass card to pay for anywhere we wanted to go. The buses are available for pick up throughout the day. It's by 6pm in the evening they close their services.

One thing with work is that in most cases, you're never going be living in your workplace which means that you would definitely be transporting yourself to work every week day whenever work is in session. This means that you're going to be paying for transportation fees all the time. Do you think that you're spending too much on transportation to work?

I spend 50 cents going to work and 70 cents returning back from work because of the fact that I always branch to a different place whenever that I am returning from work. It is not a big money because the distance to my workplace is not much.

Although there are some places where you would be working and it's going to be impossible to live in close proximity because of the nature of the job. All these companies that used to burn heavy fossils used to be far away from people's home because of the harmful smokes emitting from their production. If you work there, you can't live close by.

Many people due to high cost of transportation could result in using other means of transport. Though there are always risk in using bicycle for transport. It goes to show how people are not been able to meet their daily needs...

This is a problem workers won't have the power to solve on their own unless the government is involved. The only way out is if the workers have another alternative means of transportation to work which they can make use of to minimise cost.

There were many people who were suffering due to a lack of transportation services. Our own government initiated the project after many years it was actually planned. There are still many people who travel to work in old buses that are quite old.

I know a lady who's unemployed but have applied in so many companies. She was called in for an interview but the problem was the distance of the company from where she's staying. If she's hired, 80% of her pay will be used on transportation.

I would never resort to making use of bicycle for transportation to work. Even if it's a 20 minutes ride, I will still not do it because I know how hard it's going to be for me. Making use of bus transportation is better for me and it doesn't matter if its expensive. I will keep on using it unless there's no buses to use again.

 

[stan358]

Many people who try to use other means of transportation are only trying to cut the cost of transportation fares and not that it is convenient for them. Most people transportation could consume 80% of their salaries monthly..

I think that there are many businesses that have many branches in many places. If a person cannot find a job at some specific place, then they could try to apply for a job at a place that has many branches. This way a person would manage to be transferred to the nearby place and save transportation cost.

I'm not sure if the company have another branch which is closer to where the lady is living. If there was, she should be aware of it but as she didn't continue with the job process, it means the company doesn't have any closer branch.

I am actually the kind of person that is always interested in working for a company that have different branches all over the state. This is because they will always have it in their operational standards to transfer their workers from one branch to another. This actually gives you opportunity to explore any other working areas which can even give you an opportunity to secure another job that is paying better.

It might be possible that the particular business may not have many branches. However, I was talking about applying for a business with many branches in a general sense. Some businesses have many branches across the country. So, you may get transferred to other place in case if you are thinking about moving to a different city.
