Get to work under your own steam
Aker Solutions wants to make it easier for you to get to work without a car. Not just to save parking space, but to benefit your health, your brain, traffic and our environment.
The Aker bus starts up on Monday 4 August.
About the campaign
To improve health, sustainability and the rising challenge of parking space, Aker Solutions wishes to inspire and motivate as many as possible to walk, bike, carpool or bus to work. The goal is for as few of us as possible to need a parking space.
During spring and summer we will launch a series of efforts to urge all employees to leave the car at home, and instead get to work under your own steam by walking, biking, cathcing a ride with a friend or taking the Aker bus.
And the Aker bus is the first initiative we will launch.
