Work fewer hours; save huge amounts of time in travelling


Paul Tranter.
The Four-Hour Work Day is about many things, among them living closer to where you work and so spending far less time travelling.

Providing us with much to think about speed and travel is University of New South Wales Human Geographer, Paul Tranter.

Writing on The Conversation in a story headed: “Not so fast! How car commuting is taking your time”, Tranter argues that for car drivers, the time spend earning the money to pay for all the costs of a car is usually much greater than the time spent driving.

He concludes by suggesting that the improvement of urban health might be a simple as valuing the time of cyclists more than that of motorists.
