Well I'm in Devon and I have to get a bus to Exeter then a train to my work which costs me a total of £7.65 a day return journey(£4.25 for bus, £3.40 for train) soooo 20x£7.65= £153 a month :h:

Costs will depend on your location and how far plus Devon is really inefficient with travel so alot more fiddly to get around haha

Ouch! Can you not buy a monthly or annual season ticket? That should reduce your monthly bill by quite a bit?

Unfortunately I live in a tiny village so our weird small bus doesnt do weekly or monthly or yearly tickets :frown:

and the train I did have an annual season ticket but I am moving out next year close to my workplace with my girlfriend so I won't need the ticket anymore so works out better if I dont get ticket but I do have a railcard to get 30$ off my tickets as long as I get the off peak train :P

But yes great advice to anyone in general try get all the discount methods especially if daily travel :h:

Ah I'm not too familiar with weekends but you can just check any season tickets and railcards and buses look for weekly tickets as they can be really cheap too :smile:

£500 for September-early July bus travel any time, any bus under that operator in the area.
It's expensive!

I used to pay £150 a month to get the train to work. Now I drive to work, which has doubled in cost but has saved over half the time with the other benefit of flexibility. :smile:

I have a monthly travelcard which costs me £148.70 a month.

TfL are raising the price to £153.60 in 2018.... Yay. The difference is about the price of a cider :frown:
