The pandemic opened the eyes of many to the benefits of running or cycling to work – or “active commutes” – and some have kept up the habit.

No longer content with long drives or boring train rides, commuters have been seeking ways to make their journeys more productive and enjoyable.

    It always seems weird seeing most people in busses/trains doing nothing. That’s one of the biggest advantages of having someone else drive you.

      Is enjoying the view not doing something? It’s not really something you get to do nor appreciate if you’re driving yourself.

        Well, if it’s a regular commute, you’ll soon have seen everything there is to see…

          Eh, people watching is always new, the scenes change depending on the sun and weather. Flowers don’t bloom forever. Lots to keep the view unique everyday.
