Same for me. It is approximately 5.8kms from my apartment to work.
I have walked it before during a bus driver strike, took just over an hour at a leisurely pace - 11mins per km.
Normal days - it takes me around 6 to 8 minutes to walk to the bus stop. There is a waiting period for the bus to arrive since you want to get to the bus stop before the scheduled stop - sometimes the bus is early.
Then it takes nearly 30minutes to get to work - frequent stops along the way, 5 minutes waiting at the bus/rail interchange etc.
Finally 7 minute walk to the office from the bus stop.
Total of usually 50 minutes door to door via public transport and it costs $8 both ways.
If I took my car, it would take me 15 minutes and $17 parking fee.
