Title: Incentives to travel off peak Post by: grahame on January 25, 2019, 20:21:49 From The Telegraph (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/01/20/tokyo-offers-free-noodles-commuters-avoid-rush-hour-trains/)
Quote A Japanese metro firm thinks it may have found the solution to commuter misery by offering a free bowl of noodles to workers who stop travelling at rush hour. The Tokyo Metro company says it will ease over-crowding on carriages by giving a coupon for a bowl of soba noodles to every commuter who takes an earlier train for ten consecutive days. What should UK train operators offer their commuters as an incentive to move their journeys away from the peaks?
