| Abstract: | Gridlock has become a daily part of our morning commute. Teleworking could solve Malta’s traffic troubles by reducing cars on the road, but little research exists to prove the idea. While reading for a bachelor’s degree in Geography, I (Natalia Vella) explored teleworking as a means of reducing car traffic. Essentially, is teleworking an effective solution to minimise travelling distance in Malta? In Malta, the private car is the most popular daily mode of transportation used by commuters. Average commuting distance by car has grown year on year. In 2017, this was 2,976 million km (by all licensed cars) which increased to 3,196 million km by 2019. Maltese people get around. [excerpt] |
