Struggling to Lose Weight?

March 10, 2022

If you're struggling to lose weight, you may want to consider switching your commute from driving (a car) to riding public transportation.

Here's a few reasons why:

  1. Public transportation users take 30% more steps per day than people who rely on cars.

  2. Public transportation users get over three times the amount of physical activity per day of those who don’t.

  3. Individuals who use public transportation get an average of 19 minutes of physical activity per day.

  4. Train commuters are 4 times more likely to achieve 10,000 daily steps than car commuters.
