Our advice for getting around well
Encourage teleworking if you have the possibility.
If you have to travel:
• Favor traveling on foot or by bike for short distances.
• Encourage carpooling to reduce the number of vehicles on the roads.
• By public transport, choose stations which do not directly serve a competition site.
Otherwise, consult the interactive map or station weather to adapt your schedules to avoid busy periods.
