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.

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