Hm, so back then finding was that #teleworkers travel more km per week that non #telework people? (I understand it's quite difficult to get a clear cut answer)

I was fearing so.

I guess it doesn't come as a big surprise. (But it's important to quantify, don't get me wrong!)

Could you reach an evaluation of the weekly distance travelled with/without #telework, given that frequency decreases but distance increases? And will the increased distance+reduced frequency also lead to changing #transportation mode? (ideally #car → #rail, but could be #bike → #car too…)
