Switching to sustainable transport options has a lot of benefits to you, your business in Australia and to the environment. Read on to understand how you can benefit from switching to sustainable modes of transport.

Flexibility and speed

Almost half of all car trips in developed countries are shorter than three miles. Nearly 10% of trips are shorter than half a mile. Walking or cycling for this distance seems to be ideal. In urban areas, the fastest way to move from one point to another is cycling. This is because you can easily use shortcuts and there is no need to look for a parking space. You can also travel at a comfortable speed. For people travelling for longer distances – when it is too far to cycle or walk or when you have to carry bags, you can use public transport. With railways and trams, you can avoid traffic jams.

Saves money

We are living in times of high fuel prices. This means walking, electric vehicles and using public transport are an ideal way of saving money for people in general. Compared to the average monthly costs, all of the available sustainable modes of transport are typically cheaper. However, if you have to make a trip by car, using electric vehicles not only reduces the cost of fuel but also reduces the maintenance costs. It is also easier to repair electric vehicles and they also reduce the chances of having an accident.

Frequent use of EV as a sustainable transport option has a lot of direct financial benefits for you. You will also save a lot of time you would have otherwise spent repairing a fuel vehicle and this means that you will be saving money indirectly.

Health

Cycling and walking are ideal ways of integrating physical activities into your daily routine without spending extra time. Half an hour of walking reduces the risk of heart diseases. Using electric vehicles or public transport is less air-polluting than motorised fuel private transport and thus keeps the air we breathe cleaner and carbon emissions lower.

Environmentally friendly

When calculated with average passenger numbers, you will realise that cars consume more energy and emit more greenhouse gases and air pollutants compared to public transport, electric vehicles or cycling. Driving eco-friendly vehicles also reduces emissions from exhaust pipes. Therefore, all these modes of transport are sustainable and energy-efficient.

Raised social contacts

Imagine a world where everyone owns a car. This would mean that people don’t interact more often. However, with sustainable modes of transport, people will get to know their neighbours and meet new people. Active mobility such as cycling, walking and using public vehicles gives you the chance to stay in touch with people around you. Sustainable mode of transport is communicative.

Fun

Sustainable transport options give us a chance to have fun. People go out to cycle, walk and drive electric vehicles as a way of having fun. Imagine incorporating all that fun in our daily lives by using sustainable modes of transport daily. Life will be fun.
