A Commute Report vs the site visit drive
The drive arranged for a site visit usually happens on a weekend, in someone else's car, by a route chosen for you. It shows the home, not the commute.
To be fair
What site visit drive does well.
- A site visit is essential for the home itself.
- You see the approach road and the neighbourhood with your own eyes.
| Dimension | Site visit drive | Commute Report |
|---|---|---|
| Day and hour | Usually a weekend, mid morning | Your weekday departure windows |
| Route | Chosen by the driver | The route you would take, measured by mode |
| Repeats | Once | Ten working days |
| Destination | The site | Your office, school and station |
