WORKING WHILE YOU COMMUTE – A SMARTER WAY OF WORKING

The modern world of work is increasingly pressurised, and it can be hard to find enough hours in the day just to tread water, especially if you travel a lot. However, what if we told you there was a way to claw back some time?

For most people, their commute is time wasted, but these are valuable hours you could be using to help you keep up with your workload or even buy more time at the end of the day. All you need to do is find the right means of travel.

We’re going to break down some of the most common ways to work while you travel and weigh up which one is best for you, including a taxi, the train, the bus and a private chauffeur.
