Commuting is a key consideration for anyone looking to move to a new place for work and Norwich has a lot to offer. A compact city with friendly walking, cycling and bus routes.
With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at the transport links within Norwich, that help over 140,000 residents get around the city on a daily basis. In this 2 minute read we list all the options a commuter has to get to work, and useful links to plan your journey.
With the city transitioning to electric buses, commuting to work this way, appears to be both eco- friendly and quick. The extensive bus routes that spans across various locations such as the University of East Anglia, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Broadland Business Park, Norwich Rail Station, and more, connects all sides of Norwich.
The buses have a regular timetable and passengers can use journey planning apps such as Travel Norfolk to plan the most time efficient journey to work and back.
Sustainable commuting doesn’t have to be limiting. It’s good to remember to opt for walking, cycling or public transport when you can, however eliminating commuting via car can be a challenge for those longer trips. Good news though; there are some proactive changes you can make. Liftshare is a Norwich based Social Enterprise, helping people travel to the same location whilst sharing a car. It’s an affordable solution to make journeys to work whilst saving money and the environment.
In line with the city’s vision, by prioritising shared, clean, active, and accessible travel options, Norwich aims to create a thriving urban environment where sustainable transport is the preferred choice for journeys within the city and its surrounding areas.
