Italians prefer to go to work by car

According to a recent study by InfoJobs.it, 60% of Italians move with their own car. At the same time, 44% of respondents work less than half an hour's walk from home

The risk of getting stuck in traffic jams, breathing exhaust fumes and wasting time with other motorists scares the Italians much less than the probability of being left without a car. This type of transport is the undisputed leader in choosing a means of transportation by the inhabitants of Italy. 60% of the interventionists said that in order to get to the place of work, they use their own car. Only one out of ten Italian (10.7%, more precisely) uses public transport on the way to work. InfoJobs.it experts came to such results in their study, who also found that more than 88% of Italians do not share the home-work path with anyone, while 5.6% of people travel with colleagues.

 

"The study was conducted on the basis of a survey of 400 employees selected by staff from the community base. Geographically, the interventionists were distributed throughout the national territory: from large metropolitan areas with regular public transport to small villages where all transport is exclusively private," InfoJobs.it employees explain . It would be possible to decide that the choice of a suitable means of transportation between home and work does not depend on the preferences of the worker, but on the distance, but almost 44% of the respondents work less than half an hour from the house (37.5% per hour, 1.6% more )

While a small proportion of the lucky ones go to work on foot (3.3%), the interventionists who choose a bicycle or train look like black sheep among others: only 1.5% of workers chose the bicycle as a means of transportation, and 5.6 go by train % of those who use public transport.

"Given that a fairly large part of the people surveyed live in the provinces and work in the city every day, riding a train is not very convenient for them, and riding a motorcycle is also difficult and dangerous, especially in the rain."

“Of course, a bicycle is not, and cannot be, a solution to the problem of chronic shortages of public transport in Italy,” commented ThinkBike, an association that promotes cycling in the country.

However, “joint forms of travel” could help: a train in conjunction with a bicycle rental or a train plus car rental. After all, serious competition between the two modes of transport will never come: there will be no war of cars with bicycles. No one is 100% cyclist or 100% motorist. Therefore, before going somewhere, we must ask ourselves: how is it more convenient for me to get to where I have to go?
