When renting out a property, it is also important to learn about your target market. For example, the fact that if the distance to work is less than a kilometer, many people walk to work. During a year, according to CBS, some 114 million “trips” are made on foot for this reason. This data was provided as part of the “walk to work day. Of the remaining employees who live less than a kilometer from work, 40% take the bicycle and 9% go by car.

Transportation in The Hague

Should the distance between your new home in The Hague and your work be no more than 5-10 kilometers, you can also go by public transport or take a bike.

Commuting, often an annoyance

Miles of traffic jams, a parking lot far from your destination and more and more time taken. Commuting in the Netherlands is often a major annoyance, especially in the Randstad. It is not to be expected that this problem can be solved in the short term. In fact, the ANWB expects the problem to get worse as more and more cities consider closing parts of the city to motorized traffic.

This choice, designed to conserve the environment and reduce threats to residents' health, also results in additional travel time for some workers. Public transportation often cannot cope with the additional flow of passengers it generates during peak hours. Nor is further expansion of public transportation an obvious option.
