TRAVEL HACKS

I catch the early bus for some "me" time before work

I go my own way to control my ETA

Every Monday I get to work early to plan my week ahead.

I check emails at home before heading into work.

I like to go late night shopping on Thursdays after work and skip the peak traffic.

When we can, we leave the car at home and have date night after work. Then we catch a later bus home together.

I walk the kids to school on Tuesdays, and then work from home.

I shoot hoops after work with a friend and skip the peak traffic.

On Wednesdays I work from home in the afternoon and skip the peak traffic.

When it suits, I carpool with a colleague who lives nearby and share the drive.

On Tuesday mornings I skip the gym and walk part of the way to work instead

My employer encourages flexible start and finish times, which means I skip the traffic and have more time with the kids in the evening.

I go for a run after work with a colleague, then catch a later bus home.

I get off the bus a couple of stops earlier to grab a coffee and walk to work.

I meet friends after work at a café, then head home when the roads are less busy.

I go for a swim after work and head home later.

Once a month, we arrange a team catch up after work and skip the peak traffic on the way home.

Twice a week I avoid the traffic by hot desking at an office closer to home.

On Tuesdays, I start my work day with a phone conference at home and then head to the office later.

Twice a week I swap the car for the bus so I can read my book or catch up on emails.

I play soccer once a week after work and skip the peak traffic home.

Travel hacks are about making little changes to your daily travel that go a long way in improving your overall health and wellbeing, whilst saving you time and reducing the stress of travelling in peak hour. There are loads of lifestyle changes available; maybe it’s an early bus for some laps at the pool near work or perhaps an evening yoga class to wind down after the day, followed by a later, less busy, train home.
