What is TravelWise? Page 2
Here are some examples of changes you could make. Don’t forget
that a small change can make a big difference.
- Jump on a bus. Wolverhampton has a large fleet of buses,
many of them gas-powered so pollution is kept to a minimum. They
travel
along many routes, often with bus lanes giving them priority
over other traffic.
- Take the train or the Metro. The smooth and comfortable
way to get around. Have the time and comfort to read the newspaper
or a good book and arrive at work with a clear head.
- Share a car with someone who travels the same or similar
journey. You can still travel by car but there will be one fewer
cars on the road. It’s also a great way of making friends,
by sharing the cost of petrol you can save money too.
- Cycle or walk to work if you live close by – it
is usually quicker than waiting in a traffic jam in the city
centre and great for keeping fit.
We all know how that the roads are less busy during the school
holidays, but this is due to only a 15% reduction in the number
of cars on the road. A small change makes a big difference.
