Hi all
Excuse me gate-crashing your list but I'm very interested in this thread.
I'm a part-time researcher at the University of Leeds (https://engineering.leeds.ac.uk/staff/527/Dr_Robert_Bain). I'm interested in people's travel costs in relation to their income. I have two main questions. 1. What % of your post-tax (ie. 'take-home') pay do you spend on commuting? And 2. At what % would you consider (or be forced to) look for alternative employment ie. at what % of your take-home pay does commuting just become too expensive.
Would be really interested to hear any views - especially if they relate to 'real world' examples. I don't need to know anybody's income - just costs expressed in percentage terms (even if approximate).
Many thanks to all.
Happy and safe cycling!
Kind regards,
Rob
