答案For two candidates: Travelling to Work whether it would be better for staff to use public or private transport For commuters who live close to the city or work, it’s usually cheaper to use such public transportation as buses, trains, and subways to go to work. Normally, it wouldn’t do anything to save your time, but it’ll save the running costs of private car, including repair fees, car parking fees, fuel fees, and so on. Therefore, it’s better to use public transport. what the effects might be of allowing staff to work flexible hours Flextime would solve part of transport problems for staff. However, as for the company, it would be an increase of running cost. On one hand, flextime means an extension of working hours. In this way, the running cost for the company would be increasing.
