120 miles of transit, 160-180 miles of walking, and some damn lazy weekends.
193, 257, and 289 in kilometers, respectively
17 miles to and from work daily, 35 mile round trip to the grocery twice a month. Then several hundred miles for medical appointments or shopping other than Walmart if needed.
Used to commute 212 miles daily, so that’s about 4500 miles a month with lunches and stuff, plus errands and leisure travel would make that easily 5000 a month on average. Currently commute about 3 steps from my bed and about the only driving I do is taking my kid to and occasionally from school. So I figure about 500 miles a month which checks or math-wise.
total, or maximum? In a typical month I bike ten miles a day and walk 18K steps a day, but never go more than ten miles from my house.
18k steps is insane, and I say this as someone who lives in a city and loves walking. I hit over 20k the other day but it’s rare.
What do you do that requires so much walking?
I wait tables, but I also don’t own a car. So I walky kids to school, I walk to the supermarket, but I also take walks for recreation.
I was thinking total, but interpret the queston in any way you like :)
I drive a truck for work, my company tracks that statistic for me. 7,467 miles in my truck, in the last 30 days. Not as far as I could go, mathematically speaking, and not counting the miles I’ve done in my car or on foot in that time period. Probably rounds up to 8,000 total.
Probably 100-200km on foot, I try to get 10,000 steps a day, but don’t always hit it
I probably go into the office 5 times a month and that’s about 10km each way, though I’ll mix up either using tram or taxi depending how late I am. So let’s say 60km on tram, 40km in a cab
Probably do the same kind of split for leisure travel locally, though the cabs are more for late nights or areas not near a tram stop, so say another 60km & 40km.
I probably travel across the country by train about 6 times a year to visit family and friends in near London, so that’s 2x 3km cabs to the station (the tram doesn’t go there yet) and 2x 350km of train travel. So half that for a monthly average amount, 3km taxi, 350km train. Probably add another 50km of trains monthly just for random domestic travel not to visit my family.
Journeys involving flights probably more like 3 a year, usually to somewhere in Europe, 2x 8km taxi to and from the airport, let’s just say 2x 1000km as that puts me in the middle of Europe. So quarter that for average monthly and 4km cab, 500km plane.
Average monthly totals:
- ~150km on foot
- ~120km on trams
- ~90km on taxis
- ~400km on trains
- ~500km on plane
=~1260km a month
I don’t drive my own car and this is a reminder that I need to finally get my bike fixed. But hey, had no idea I was moving around so much.
2,500 to 3000 miles per month. Mostly commuting to and from work.
Not terribly far these days. Nearly all of my travel is by walking or cycling.
Although over the next week, I will be travelling by train a few times to a city 30km away and back. And then to a city 500km away and back. But those are very tourist trips.
Depends whether I’m going ng to work or not, and if so where. If I’m only staying home or in the nearby area it’s usually 500km roaming range (I budget for roughly a full tank of gas every month).
If work is involved it can be on the other side of the planet.
Probably a few hundred miles. Most things are within a few hundred yards of me (including work) so I walk. But if I need to go to Walmart, it’s across town and I go to a dispensary about 15-20 miles away once a week.
Maybe about 100? ~4km to and from school and riding (bicycle) downtown every weekend for work. *Not including walking to classes on campus, which prolly isn’t that much.
About 750 km’s. Two days per week to work and some private, local travel.
To answer my own question, approximately 1900km of which:
-
80km on foot (if my smart watch is to be believed)
-
700km in car with at least one other person
-
1120km on my own in my car
-
