Why Choose public transport
Driving to work is one option. But for many commuters, public transport is faster, cheaper, and far less stressful. Whether you travel by bus, rail, or a mix of both, most workplaces are well connected and easier to reach than you might think.
Avoid traffic and parking
The daily drive adds up. Traffic at peak times, time spent finding a space, permit costs, and parking fees are all part of the deal when you commute by car.
Public transport cuts most of that out. You get on, you get off, and someone else handles the route.
No congestion to negotiate
No circling for a space
No parking costs or permit renewals
Many routes run directly to or near major workplaces, making the switch simpler than expected
Use your travel time productively
When you drive, the journey demands your full attention. When you take the bus or train, that time is yours.
Commuters use it in all sorts of ways:
Catching up on emails before the working day starts
Reading or listening to podcasts
Planning ahead and clearing their head
Simply switching off before or after work
For many people, this is the part they notice most. The commute starts to feel shorter, and the day starts better.
Plan travel for the full working week in one go
Rather than planning each journey separately, our Weekly Travel option lets you map out your entire commute in a single session.
You can:
Choose which days you need to travel
Set your preferred arrival and departure times for each day
Get a full summary covering estimated cost, travel time, and environmental impact
It takes a few minutes to set up and takes the guesswork out of your week.
Contribute to sustainable travel
Every journey by public transport instead of car means fewer vehicles on the road and lower emissions overall. That matters at a local level, not just in theory.
You do not need to change every journey. Swapping even two or three commutes a week makes a measurable difference, both to the environment and to congestion on local roads.
Use the Travel Assistant app for real-time journey navigation
Once you have planned a journey, save it to the Travel Assistant app and get live guidance throughout your commute.
The app tells you where your bus is right now, alerts you to disruptions before they affect you, and suggests alternative routes automatically if something changes.
It is particularly useful when you are travelling a new route or commuting in areas where services run to a tight schedule.
