David has little to complain of in his life, but one thing that does exasperate him is the problems caused by heavy traffic in the capital. He says he would prefer to drive to work, but it just isn't possible. The traffic moves too slowly, he has to pay a congestion charge to enter the centre, and then also pay for parking. So, for David, it's much cheaper to buy a travel card to use on the tube, London's metro system. The only time he gets to show off in his brand new Mercedes convertible is at weekends. When Judy Childress was offered the post of a director of a large multinational organisation whose headquarters are in Paris, she considered moving to the other side of the channel. But in the end she decided against it as she didn't want to disrupt the lives of her two young children who were happily settled in their school. Instead, she decided to commute to Paris on the Channel Tunnel train. According to Judy, she gets to work faster than her friends who commute to London from the suburbs because the journey on the super-fast Eurostar train only takes 2 hours and 15 min. Benjamin Goldstein started his job as a naval architect just after leaving university. His work requires him to travel to many parts of the world to oversee projects he is responsible for. He says that in the beginning he found it very tiring and often suffered from jet lag. However, he has learned how to cope over the years.

She lives with her family just outside the town in the village of Cherry Hinton. To get to the lab in the mornings, Anne uses pedal power and rides her bike to work. She points out that it's a really good way to keep fit, and it's also very environmentally friendly as it causes no pollution at all. She says that the only thing you have to watch out for in Cambridge is bicycle thieves, and she always keeps her bike securely locked when she's not using it. Mike Hudson runs a DIY store in the centre of Manchester and is the proud owner of a 1950's Royal Enfield Bullet motorbike. Mike says that his favourite part of the day is riding to work in the mornings whatever the weather is like. He claims that it's such a beautiful old machine that just the sound of the engine running puts a smile on his face in the morning. He also says he feels like a free spirit whenever he rides his bike, and that it's a great way to beat the traffic jams and much more economical to run than a car. As far as Norman Hadley is concerned, there's no better way to travel than on foot. He is the manager of the local post office in the small town of Garstang, Lancashire. Norman always walks the three miles to work in the morning, even if it's snowing. He says that in the five years since he stopped using his car (because the cost of running it was so high) he hasn't had even one day of illness. Norman says it's not just the fact that walking keeps him fit, but that it gives him time to himself just to think about life.
