5 Ways to Make Your Commute to Work Easier
There is nothing worse than a stressful and uncomfortable commute to work that makes your working day even longer. But who says that commutes have to be so uncomfortable? We have mastered the art of an enjoyable commute to work and have a few pointers on how you can improve your commute – and save money at the same time!
1. Leave the car behind (if you can)
While you may automatically just jump into your car every morning for your commute to work you may be surprised to learn that you could instead use the public transport UK links to get you there instead. Not only is this kinder to the planet, but also means you can limit your time sat in city traffic.
Nobody likes sitting in traffic all morning do they! Using public transport in the UK also means that you can plan your day, check emails, read a few chapters of your book, or even just sit back and enjoy the journey!
2. Use various transport methods
If you’ve had a look at your commute journey before then you may have assumed that you can only get to your destination using one transport method. But there may be various transport methods you can use. For example, trains, buses, trams, and cycling are all popular forms of transport for commuters and can make getting to work a whole lot easier.
3. Plan your journey in advance
No matter how you plan on getting to work it is important that you plan your journey in advance so that you can make your commute as stress-free as possible. Whether you need to check for any delays or cancellations before you leave the house or pre-book your car parking while using a citipark discount code to make it a bit more affordable. Planning your journey in advance can save yourself money – and a headache!
4. Utilise NHS transport discounts
The cost of commuting to work everyday can soon start to add up. Therefore, it is important that you make the most of the NHS staff transport discount available to you. From rail discounts to Ocado flights (if you have a really long commute!), it always worth checking out the transport NHS discounts we have to offer. Why spend more than you need to getting to and from work?
5. Be strategic
We recommend that you experiment with different driving routes, transportation options and commuting at different times/days until you find a commute that suits you. Take note of when traffic is heaviest and if you have hybrid or flexible working try to work from home on the days where traffic is heaviest.

Transport FAQs
Getting around is pretty easy thanks to the extensive public transport in the UK. The most popular transport options include travelling by car, train, bus or flights and getting across the country doesn’t take too long at all. Most UK towns offer regular bus and train services so that you can get from A to B easily and affordably.
Travelling by coach is the cheapest way to get around the UK. However, it is also the slowest! Coach companies such as National Express and megabus offer services up and down the country and usually run between all major cities, towns and airports.
Individuals in England can get a free bus pass for travel when they reach the State Pension age (this is currently 66). In Wales, a bus pass is available for those aged 60+.
