Since the start of lockdown in March, the coronavirus crisis has radically changed the scale of public transport use, after Boris Johnson ordered millions of commuters to work from home, in order to stop the spread of the pandemic.
More than 20 of the UK’s largest firms have said that the majority of their employees will continue to work from home “for the foreseeable” future, despite the government changing its official work from home guidance in early August.
In light of that, data published by Bankrate, showed that on average, rail users from commuter towns in London, who buy their tickets on a weekly basis, saved £2,083 ($2,730) — whereas those who bought monthly tickets saved £1,600.
