Stuck in Traffic … The need for local work increases!

STUCK in traffic …The need for local work increases!

The latest commuting data shows  people are  taking longer to get to work,  on average  71 gruelling  minutes* for Sydney- siders. Slow  investment in public transport  and  rapid population growth are thought to  be  fueling the increases.

Here, at mme we’re seeing more and more people leaving their jobs in the city to work closer to home.

For employers, long commutes are a risk. The lengthy time spent travelling to work has been linked to reduced productivity, workplace injuries and absenteeism**
