Walking and cycling to work makes commuters happier and more productive

Our study, involving 1,121 full-time workers who commute daily to work, made several important findings:

• Those who commute longer distances tend to have more days off work
• Among middle-aged workers, those who walk or cycle performed better in the workplace
• Those who commute short distances, walk or cycle to work, are more likely to be happy commuters, which makes them more productive.
