Why encourage use of Public Transport?
Public transport is often quicker and cheaper than using a car - especially in congested urban areas where parking is limited. Because it causes less pollution and congestion, greater use of public transport has benefits for the environment and our communities too.
The benefits to business of using public transport
For businesses and other organisations, developing a culture of preferring public transport to car use can help:
- lower organisational transport costs
- reduce the need for expensive parking lots
- increase productivity by enabling staff to work en-route
- demonstrate commitment to protecting the environment
Improving access to your premises by public transport can also help enlarge the pool of available labour and get more customers through your doors.
