I pledge to commute actively to office by using public transport or walking or cycling at least once a week and support the fight against climate change

5 reasons why you should commute actively -

  1. You’ll be healthier -
    According to a study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2015, riding the bus or train to work is associated with significant improvements in health.
    The research included almost 6,000 adults in Osaka, Japan and compared bus/train commuters, walkers/bikers and drivers. Compared to those who drove themselves to work,
    People who took the bus or train were:
    • 44 percent less likely to be overweight
    • 27 percent less likely to have high blood pressure
    • 34 percent less likely to have diabetes

  2. You’ll be happy and stress free - Driving is very stressful during the times of congestion or traffic jams, at times you can be a victim of road rage too, but by using public transport you can use this time to read, talk to your friend or listen to your favorite music.

  3. You’ll reduce pollution - By using public transport, you’ll be able to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions by more than half. A typical automobile driver can reduce individual daily carbon emissions by 9 kgs. or more than 3,285 kgs. per year.

  4. You’ll save money - Travelling by public transport saves you money as you only pay for the trips you make, your personal car requires the costs of maintenance and other additional charges such as parking fees etc. Moreover, public transport is subsidized by the government.

  5. You’ll save time travelling via metro - Because there are no traffic jams on metros, you will reach your destination hassle free and in less time.
