Bus: York to Leeds
I have taken this journey twice each working day for this last academic year (2009/10). I wondered how many miles and hours I have spent on the big blue buses.
Distances
| Distance per Journey | 34 miles |
| Distance per Day | 68 miles |
| Total Distance | 68 miles x 5 days x 30 weeks = 10200 |
This total distance covered is equivalent to just under the distance between London, UK and Sydney, Australia
Cost
| Cost per Bus Pass | £80 |
| Total Cost | £80 x 7 = £560 |
| Petrol Costs | 10200mi x 35mpg x 105p = £1391.10 |
Taking the bus has cost 40% of what it would have cost for fuel alone if I had a car
Time
| Time per Journey | 70 minutes |
| Total Time | £70 x 2 x 30 x 5 = 14.58 days |
Final percentage for you: the time I have spent on the bus is equilavent to 4% of my whole year!
