Financial benefits of train travel

Let's get right to the point: train travel leads to cost savings. For both your employee and your organization. An employee does not incur any costs for train travel, while those with a private car have to deal with travel expenses that may not be reimbursed 100% and depreciation and maintenance costs.

In addition, if your organization offers lease contracts, the costs often exceed the use. This is because we increasingly work from home and leave the car at home. When traveling by train, you only pay for the trips made.

A practical example: meet Karin

Suppose you have a colleague named Karin. Karin travels two days a week from her home address in Tilburg to your office in Amsterdam Sloterdijk. She does so by car. A Volkswagen Golf that runs on gasoline to be exact. Her monthly costs for commuting are € 478. Of that, € 398 is reimbursed by your organization, assuming € 0.19 mileage allowance.

If Karin would take the train instead of her car, it would save her and your organization costs. Karin would not have to pay for petrol, maintenance and depreciation. Your organization reimburses € 200, namely the cost of the trips made.

Saving on CO2 emissions

You not only save on costs by having your employees travel by train, but also on CO2 emissions. Colleague Karin saves no less than 194 kilograms of CO2 emissions per month by leaving her car at home during workdays. This change in mobility choice thus contributes to your organization's sustainability goal.

Traveling by train is work time

There is another advantage to traveling by train. In fact, employees drive past traffic jams. And during that ride, they can work. So travel time is literally work time. So your employees will be home on time, without sacrificing productivity.
