    During school holidays, my commute is around 25 minutes each way.

    Outside of school holidays, my commute is around 40 minutes each way.

    How do kids who start school at 9:00am ruin my commute at 6:30am?

      I can’t tell if this is a sarcastic comment, but just in case it isn’t: Because during holidays, a noticeable enough percentage of the people who join your commute at 6:30am, have decided to not go to work that day and will instead enjoy a day with their offspring.

      It’s also a good time to remind everyone that the train however, if an option, will be equally fast regardless of school holiday periods.

        Not only that but those parents do a double commute. School drop off and work commute. Before school care starts at 7am at my sons school. I start at 7:45 so hes dropped before 7:30.

      I don’t know, but I used to commute about an hour and a half to get to my first high school. I went by public transport though. It was only a 20 minute drive, too, which really made it suck
