Pretty Progressive
For many people, it is still necessary to use different types of vehicles (rather than just a personal car) to get to work. Every city has different rules regarding modes of transportation. If you care about the environment and commute to work daily, you can turn your routine green with these eco-friendly ways to commute to work every day.
Share a Ride
People in cities tend to drive often, and almost every person owns a car; this becomes a problem in big cities because traffic increases in ways that the city’s infrastructure sometimes can’t handle. Sharing a ride with a friend or even choosing to share a ride with a stranger on a rideshare app will contribute to a greener and better future while also reducing overall traffic.
Use Public Transport
This might seem daunting for some, especially when trying it for the first time, but public transport in cities where it works efficiently is an unbeatable transportation option. The bus, the subway, and trains are popular options in many cities because they allow you to multitask while riding, and their schedules are, for the most part, very consistent.
Consider Bikes and E-bikes
If you live close to your work, the best way to avoid traffic and get your workout in is with a bike or an e-bike, but keep in mind that they have various differences. They both provide an easy and sustainable way of transportation; which one you choose depends on your needs. E-bikes are bikes with an integrated electric motor that will assist you when you need help pedaling or moving without stressing your body. An e-bike has additional benefits to make your life easier, so it might be the more convenient option.
Opt for Electric Vehicles
Hybrid cars and electric cars are slowly but surely taking over the streets. These cars will give you a lot more mileage with less gas, which will help to decrease your carbon footprint. These are a little more expensive than regular cars, but that return on investment is significant; plus, it goes without saying that these vehicles will make your daily commute to work more sustainable.
Stay on Top of Car Maintenance
If you are particular about your way of transportation because of many factors like time, family, or distance, you may have no choice but to stick with the car you already have. In this instance, you can reduce your car’s toxic emissions by keeping up to date with maintenance checks—like inflated tires, clean air filters, and oil changes—and removing any extra weight that could cause your car to use more gas.
