More than one in four Britons plan to change the way they commute next year mainly because of increased train and bus fares, according to a report by recruitment company reed.co.uk.
About 7 percent of those surveyed, equivalent to more than 2 million workers, aim to change their mode of transportation to avoid the fare increases, the company said in the report. Six percent, or 1.7 million workers, will seek to move to a new home or job over the next 12 months to make their commute easier, the survey found.
