Car Pooling?

Try http://www.allspace.com.au They have a carpooling section.

Thanks all.
I might just have to drive after all – and look for a job closer to home in the long run!

You can check on http://www.canberraexchange.com.au/ they might have something……www.myspareseat.com or http://www.mycarpools.com

Also check the notice board on your work intranet 🙂

Alternatively, can you cycle part of the way and make use of the bike n ride features on the buses?

90 minutes for ¬25km? Ouch. A slow cyclist could beat that – with a 15 minute coffee stop on the way (.. and never have to pay for a gym membership again.) A regular bike commuter could probably do it in 50 minutes.

Food for thought, maybe? 🙂

I’m still in Melbourne-mode … nothing seems too far away in Canberra. I find it intriguing that people in Canberra complain about the traffic jams and distances being too far. The longest Canberra commute (from far South to far North) is only about 40-45 minutes, which still doesn’t seem too bad to me.

That’s what we do ogrex- basically Mr Jessieduck and I would love to live in a spacious three bedroom house in the burbs but a one bedroom apartment, close to everything we need (work, pub, shops etc) is far more enjoyable then trying to live in Canberra without a car.

Yeah, let’s face it, unless you’re adjacent to one of the interchanges… busing blows. We made the decision to just bite the bullet, payer higher rents, take on the occasional short-term roomie, etc. just so that we could live centrally and both walk/bike to work.

Could we have a better house and more stuff if we moved out to the burbs? Yeah, sure… but having a 7-20 minute (on foot) commute each way is a fair trade.

You can get good blueprints at Star Trek Conventions- that would save you a bit of time chewy.

I’m working on a teleport machine at the moment.
Should be finished in 20 years or so.
