When it comes to finding the best means of transportation to work more and more people are considering going green. Here are some eco-friendly means of transportation to work as well as the benefits to the environment.
Walking and Biking
If you live in close proximity to your work place a great means of transportation to work is walking or biking. Think about it in two ways. First you will be helping to save the planet which is a good thing. Second you will be improving your health and level of activity. Many offices have shower facilities for staff who cycle and walk so if you are worried about sweating you can take a shower, shave, put on makeup or whatever your regime requires and arrive at your desk fresh and clean and ready to work. It can also free up some time in your busy schedule as you will be killing two birds with one stone and no longer need to find time to go to the gym.
Public Transit
This is one of the most popular means of transportation to work and is also an extremely economical choice. Most people will save an average of 40 percent in transportation costs by taking public transportation. You can opt to take public transit completely, or if you are a little outside the public transit area, drive to the nearest station and then hop on a bus, train or trolley depending on where you live. You will find even with the cost of parking at the station you will still come out ahead when taking public transit.
Car Pool
Look for people you work with who live in your area and arrange a car pool. You can all pitch in for gas and take turns driving. This is a pleasant way to travel especially with a group of people you enjoy. In fact your public transit may also offer car pool and van pool services that are even more affordable.
