Embrace Sustainable Commuting: Choose Public Transport for a Better Tomorrow

Behaviour wanted to change

Individual car use for daily commute.

Intention

I want to use sustainable modes of transport to get to work.

Nudge Description

Commit to use sustainable modes of transport for your daily commute. If walking or biking is not an option, choose public transport – for many reasons:

  • Save money. Public transport is cheaper than going by car, especially compared to driving alone in one vehicle.
  • Productive time. Public transport might take you longer, however, you can use the time to work, read, sleep or have a chat with somebody.
  • Protect the environment. Save resources and reduce emissions.
  • No worries: When you live completely car-free, you don’t need to worry about insurance, maintenance, fuel etc.

Nudge yourself to use public transport:

  • Purchase a ticket, that allows you to travel all year around (e.g. 1-year pass). Many employers financially support such a ticket.
  • Store an umbrella or a rain coat in the office, just in case.
  • Have the timetables of your public transport lines at hand: Save the link on your mobile phone or print the timetable and pin it somewhere close to your door or desk.
