Here’s a interesting clip I came across this morning…
Commuters can spend up to 18 years of their working life traveling to and from work.
Most people in Britain spend five years behind the wheel but the misery increases for travelers living in London where traffic chaos is worse, reports The Sun.
The average person traveling to work now faces a three-hour round trip, according to the report by the AA and Work Wise UK.
The report aims to persuade bosses to allow more staff to work from home as congestion and delays cost Britain’s economy £22billion a year.
Work Wise UK boss Phil Flaxton said: “The requirement to travel to and from work at the same time to the same place every weekday is going to look more and more old-fashioned.
“A change to work practices, and hence travel patterns, is one of the solutions to road congestion and public transport overcrowding.”
AA president Edmund King said working from home one day a week would help reduce the crippling cost of commuting.
He said: “The equivalent of our annual holiday from work is lost commuting by car.”
