It’s the time! Here comes the brand new Community challenge! :dynatrace:

 ![kurt_aigner_0-1652869505010.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/6/3/63791479c696bd04f9d520080c1975ca90650499.png)

Even if we don’t think about it deeply, every day we’re making a choice to effectively commute. Some of us take the bus, some go by train, others prefer a bike or scooter, many stick with a car or even their own feet 👣

Here in Dynatrace, we pay huge attention to the way how we commute in our daily routine, having the **EcoMode program**. It rewards Dynatracers who use everything but the car or get to work by public transport 🚄 Shout out to Alexander Sommer, who no matter of rain, sun, cold or heat [**is strongly committed to the bike as his daily mean of transportation to work**](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dynatrace_dynatracer-dynatracelabs-activity-6930095459843641345-0PLq?utm_source=linkedin_share&utm_medium=member_desktop_web).

And you? **Tell us how you commute on your daily basis** , no matter if it is a bike, car, scooter, public transport or your own feet. What do you use the most frequently? Every answer gives you 100 bonus points and a dedicated “Commuter” badge. Additionally! For every submission we plant a flower in our office 😉

Can’t wait for your answers! Feel free to respond any way you prefer! 😊

Before COVID there was a lot of commuting to customers every week. Where possible with the train but witht he state of railway in germany, a lot was flying.

But for the last ~2 years my daily commute has been the ~30 steps from my kitchen to the office, no cars involved 😉

Before the pandemic, many of us had to go to the customer’s office. Now in the new normality, I had to create my own office (3rd room - guests only) and don’t have to move to another place but every day I’ve to pick up my son from the school who is ~10 minutes away from the apartment. My mobility is obviously walking less than 30 minutes.

Same here, working from home since March 2020. Before pandemic, I used to take a bus to go to office (around 40km far from my home), and sometimes, my motorcycle.

Today , the only place I go daily is to my kids school, they are near, around 10 mins on feet (their pace).

But let’s say I come back to office, weekly, I would definitely ride my Dyna, it is not so eco (a bit louder too), but that’s how I like it.

I commute by car. I do it almost all days with electrical power, so it’s almost always eco friendly. 20 Km daily. Don’t have a public transport option.

Probably one of us that has worked less from home in the pandemic… Always secure and abiding by the law, but sometimes I would feel that I was like in a “The Walking Dead” episode…

Great to see Alex showing how it’s done biking 💪🚲

Some days I drive a car, some days I take my e-bike Ampler. It has completely changed my experience of urban biking and I recommend to take a ride with an e-bike for all ages and fitness levels.

I commute by subway in Osaka. The Osaka subway is the second largest in Japan after the Tokyo subway.  
Not only the subway, but also Japanese railways operate according to the timetable, and there is not much delay.

So, train delay of

0min to 1min “Good” ,

1min to 3min"Tolerable",

\> 3 minutes&nbsp;“Frustrating”.

Those are some nice punctuallity goals!

In Germany everything below a 5:59min delay doesn’t even count as not on time in the statistics.

Often if a train has to much delay it will just cancel the last stops and change direction early, as cancled trains also don’t count as “late” in the statistics…&nbsp;🙄

On average I go to the office 4 times a week, by bike (~ 20km/day). Given the fact that the pandemic chained me for nearly two years to the home office and this exercise was missing … correct, I still need to get rid of a few kg!!!

The punctuality is legendary. That’s the way to go! Here in Portugal we don’t know what that is… And I can just imagine OneAgents sourcing that data and feeding some nice dashboard/SLOs! :dynaspin:

I would love to share my commuting experience to office before the pandemic (10 Km per day)

 ![bike-customization-hobby.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/2/2c3a23ebfd3338bce3ea698d608e004119624a42.jpeg)  
. I still use my bike for local travel and weekend touring. I use to ride this own custom bike of mine which was build using scrap materials form different&nbsp; type of old bikes. I tweaked its engine by adjusting the fuel flow and&nbsp; also reducing the diameter of gear teeth’s to increase the RPM. It eventually cover more miles than any average low end bike and was very economic for me giving a range of 110 KM in a single liter of fuel.

Its still my passion to customize bike and I can spend my weekend building one again with some electric technology movement.😉

Hello everyone,

Personally, I much prefer public transport AND/OR electric scooter: for an hour, I have time to read the news, catch up with friends and family, reread articles or meet new people…

But since my move, the city is not well served by public transport, which forces me to take my own car morning and evening.
