Map 7.7 c) Method to Travel to Work by output area – Mainly Working at Home
Working from home is spread well over especially in rural areas
Map 7.7 d) Method to Travel to Work by output area – Bicycle
Biking to work is mainly where established cycle routes are available – Exeter and the Barnstaple-Braunton area.
Map 7.7 e) Method to Travel to Work by output area – On Foot
Not surprisingly walking is in the town centres – Exeter, Plymouth, Barnstaple, Exmouth, Okehampton, Tiverton, Crediton and most towns.
Map 7.7 f) Method to Travel to Work by output area – All Forms of Public Transport
Exeter, Plymouth and to a lesser extent Torbay have most Public Transport uses – Okehampton and Newton Abbot also feature.
Map 7.7 g) Method to Travel to Work by output area – All Forms of Private Transport
Private Transport seems to be mainly in the areas outside the main towns – maybe where Public Transport doesn’t cover reliably.
