Sunday morning and Thursday evening I take a train to and from the dorms. Ashdod-Yavne-Rehovot-Lod-Tel Aviv Hagana-Tel Aviv Hashalom-Tel Aviv Center-Tel Aviv University. And then a bus to dorms because the train station is on the other side of the uni and my bags are heavy.

On regular days it's a 3 minutes walk across the street to the uni, then about 3 minutes of waiting in the main gate while the guards check everyone's bags and then a 10 minutes walk to the Engineering Faculty buildings.

7 1/2 mile journey. 10 minutes by scooter (plus 3 or 4 minutes at each end to get into and out of the riding clothes and helmet).

I could get a bus - sort of. But that would mean getting to work at 8.10 am or 9.45 am, not 9.00 am as I need to. The reason? The bus company takes buses off the quieter routes to use on the school contracts between 8.30 and 9.00 am.

5 minute walk to 'work'

In fact I can walk everywhere here - otherwise it is the trusty mountain bike...

I suppose I catch a bus twice every fortnight on average and maybe a couple of train rides a month...

A previous commute in London was:

New Cross Gate tube station on East London Line
Surrey Quays
Change at Canada Water for Jubilee Line
Canary Wharf

Door to desk in as little as 25 mins on a good day and all Zone 2 travel at £10 a week!

Lindbergh Center
Arts Center
Midtown
North Avenue
Civic Center
Peachtree Center
Five Points

10 minutes on bike... I have no clue what the streets I use is called

If I had to use public transportation I had to ride 5 minutes to the nearest bus stop

Live and Work at the university.
Get food delivered.
For the entire Semester I didn't leave my 'base'.

When I do leave my base I walk...
But on New Year's Eve, I'll catch a Train from Wollongong to Sydney - which I expect to take 90 minutes.

(And before you say it all my base are belong to ME)

I take bus 1 outwards in the morning and about half the time back. When I get the chance I take the more inconveniently timed but closer-stopping bus 5.

Bus 1:

Kvartsvägen (Quartz Road, all the roads on Carlshem are named after minerals, I live on Amber Road myself)
Porfyrvägen (Porphyry Road)
Kolbäcksvägen (Coal Stream Road, okay except this one then)
Elevstråket (School Student Walk, the converse is true on Ålidhem with Academia)
Assistentvägen (Assistant Road)
Laboratorvägen (Laborator Road)
Klintvägen (Cornflower Road)
Universum (The Universe, basically the central campus building)

Bus 5 back:

Universum
Växthuset (The Greenhouses, of the university)
Ålidhöjd
Ålidhems Centrum (The Ålidhem Centre, basically a load of shops)
Magistervägen (Masters' Road, back to the academia)
Carlslid
Flintvägen (Flint Road, back to the minerals)
Gnejsvägen (Gneiss Road)
