You can work easily on the train with WiFi access. Plus it saves airport queuing time, as cities\u2019 train stations are often in their centre. And don\u2019t forget the potential opportunity to enjoy incredible scenery en route too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Train connections are particularly extensive across Europe and, over the coming year, there are even more initiatives to boost this sustainable way of travelling. We\u2019re already witnessing many clients implementing a rail over air strategy within their programme policy for domestic travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The European Commission is set to support ten pilot projects into&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstravelnewseurope.com\/Ground-Transport\/European-Commission-to-support-ten-new-cross-border-rail-routes?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=eltrbtneurope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new cross-border rail links<\/a>, which is set to improve speed and frequency across cross-border journeys.

And, if rail travel is not always possible, consider hiring electric vehicles (EV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Points to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When planning travel budgets, factor in that \u2013 at the moment \u2013&nbsp;EVs may be slightly more expensive to hire than petrol or diesel cars, as the price per kilowatt fluctuates depending on the time of day and popularity of the chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Plan where the charging points are situated along your route. City centres and major hubs are the places they\u2019re most likely to be. EVs know where there are chargers en route and will direct you to one. If your route isn\u2019t going directly pass those, plan enough journey time to stop off to charge the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Check out where charge points offer rapid charging, to minimise your journey time. Did you know there are 40,150 public electric vehicle charging devices available in the UK (as of April 2023), 7,647 of which are rapid devices, according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.dft.gov.uk\/ev-charging-map\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Department for Transport<\/a>? This also works well for employee wellbeing on longer drives \u2013 they can take a mandated break and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consider introducing car sharing for your corporate travellers \u2013 a great budget saver and a more eco-friendly way to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_393777127-Hong-Kong-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_393777127-Hong-Kong-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_393777127-Hong-Kong-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_393777127-Hong-Kong-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_393777127-Hong-Kong-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_393777127-Hong-Kong-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/reedmackay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/shutterstock_393777127-Hong-Kong-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hong Kong: the top city for public transport provision, according to the World Economic Forum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re in a destination for a meeting or event, take advantage of its public transport systems.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2022\/12\/top-10-cities-with-best-public-transport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The World Economic Forum published a report into the world\u2019s cities for transport provision.<\/a>&nbsp;Hong Kong took the top spot, followed by Zurich and Stockholm.
