COST OF LIVOING MAKES COMMUTING DIFFICULT

AUSTRALIA’S cost of living, high fuel prices, and increasing public transport costs are making commuting financially unsustainable for many. The average annual commute costs $5,020 per person, with a national expense of $43.2B. Urban sprawl exacerbates commuting challenges, forcing workers into longer, costlier commutes. Hybrid and remote work arrangements offer a solution, saving costs and improving work-life balance. Experts emphasise the need for commuter-friendly cities and flexible work policies to alleviate financial strain.
