Hybrid work could save Singaporeans $3,900 in commuting costs

Globally, 84% say reduced commutes improve work-life balance and activities.

Working closer to home just two days a week can help Singaporeans save about $3,900 or US$3,000 annually on commuting expenses, data from the International Workplace Group (IWG) revealed.

IWG said Singaporean workers can benefit from cost savings with the hybrid work model, taking advantage of the country’s economical public transportation.

"Despite 2023’s fare hike, Singapore’s public transport prices remain comparable or lower than that of other global cities like Paris and London," IWG said.

"Singapore was also ranked within the top ten countries with the best public transport system globally, and second best in Asia," IWG added.

Globally, IWG found that cutting down on long commutes positively affects 84% of workers' work-life balance, allowing them more time for personal activities.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
