Bustling around in the morning before going to work is a norm for most if not all working people. I don’t know about you, but I really value the quiet, serene mornings that can’t be replicated. Unfortunately, when you are in the rush to get to work on time, quiet and serene is the last thing you’ll get. Especially when you get stuck in traffic in the early hours. Isn’t it just a pain? This is why I say public transport is the best. Let’s take a look at the benefits of working in offices near public transportation.

Beat The Traffic

Probably the obvious benefit we stand to gain from using public transportation is that we get to beat the traffic. Imagine living in Kuala Lumpur and having to suffer through traffic EVERY SINGLE DAY! I don’t know about you but I did my internship in Kuala Lumpur and had to suffer 3 whole months of non-stop traffic. So believe me when I say that I thank heavens that my office for rent in PJ is near the LRT right now. That saves me from wasting my time on the road. It also gives me an extra hour of sleep. Come on, don’t tell me that isn’t tempting. 

Cost-Effective

It may be cheaper travelling in a car when you’re going on family trips or when you’re travelling to work with a friend. And carpooling is always good for your expenses. However, if you are one who travels to work alone, you would probably want to opt for the public transportation you have around your area. Whether it be the buses or trains, it’ll do the job to get you to work on time for a cheaper price. You won’t have to worry about the petrol consumption during the traffic or the extra expenses such as tolls that you might need to pay. It’s essentially cost-effective for everyday travel. 

Reduce Pollution 

This is a no brainer, but I feel that it should still be said. Using public transportation reduces pollution. Without the carbon emissions from cars, our air is just that much cleaner. By reducing the number of cars on the road, we are reducing the number of greenhouse gases in our environment. Our air would be must cleaner. Isn’t that a lot healthier? Even if we resort to using buses, that’s that much more people who aren’t in cars, and that same number of cars would not be on the road.

Provide Economical Benefits

When walking to a transport station rather than driving, people can more easily stop for a snack or a cup of coffee. As a result, small enterprises can also gain. Also, if a homeowner is wanting to sell a home, if it is close to a public transportation stop, they may receive a higher offer, which is beneficial to both the seller and the city’s general tax base. All these little things would be able to boost the country’s economy. Not to mention, it would be a great help to the small vendors whose shops are around the train stations.
