Stress-free commuting with Edenred Transport

Endless traffic queues in the morning rush hour, desperate searches for parking spaces, frantic tapping on parking apps – does this sound familiar? For many working individuals, daily life revolves around commuting, and smooth travel can make the day either pleasant or nerve-wracking. Edenred's commuting benefit, also known as Transport, makes daily commuting easier, more affordable, and environmentally friendly.

Using public transport for commuting offers many advantages compared to driving a car. It reduces stress, eliminates the hassle of finding parking, and provides the opportunity to utilize commute time for activities such as reading or relaxing. Edenred's commuting benefit makes accessing these benefits even easier.

The benefit operates with a virtual commuting card that you can link to Apple Pay or Google Pay. This allows you to pay for your journey directly from your mobile device without the need for separate cards or cash. Additionally, you can add your card as a payment method in apps like HSL, Waltti, and VR Matkalla, enabling you to purchase tickets conveniently anytime and anywhere.

An easy responsible choice

By choosing public transport over private driving, you make an environmentally friendly choice. Using public transport reduces carbon dioxide emissions and traffic noise pollution in urban areas. It also alleviates traffic congestion, making travel easier for all commuters. Edenred's commuting benefit encourages green choices by making the use of public transport financially more attractive and easier.

By utilizing the commuting benefit, you not only lighten the load on the environment but also ease the burden on your wallet. The use of public transport season tickets purchased with the commuting benefit is not restricted to specific times or routes, allowing you to use it for leisure travel as well. For example, an HSL AB zone season ticket can be used for traveling on the Suomenlinna ferry, allowing you to spend a sunny summer day on the island without worrying about parking or extra ferry fees.

Beneficial exercise and well-being

Using public transport increases your daily incidental exercise almost without you noticing. The walks to stops and stations, as well as transfers between different modes of transport, add steps to your daily count effortlessly.

Research shows that public transport users take an average of 2,000 more steps daily than private car drivers. A small amount of fresh air and light exercise every morning ensures that your body and mind are refreshed and ready for the upcoming workday!

Favoring public transport can also improve mental well-being. Driving requires active and constant attention to traffic and the functions of your own vehicle, and driving is not the right place for deep relaxation. Instead, on a train, bus, or tram, you can even close your eyes and enjoy a carefree ride. Bring along an interesting book or crossword puzzle, listen to your favorite music or podcast, and relax to the soothing background hum.

Public transport can be one of the biggest stress factors in everyday life – or it can be a smooth, relaxing part of your day. Edenred's commuting benefit makes it the latter. Convenient mobile payment, savings from the tax-free benefit, and an environmentally friendly daily routine – that’s the combination that makes commuting a genuinely enjoyable part of your day.
