Islanders using motorbikes, e-bikes or walking for the daily commute have jumped by 20% compared to the same period last year, according to a local transport charity.
Volunteers from the Better Journeys Project have been standing along the roadside during morning commutes to monitor how people are getting to work.
They found that on a Friday commute in June 2023, compared to a similar Friday last June, 6% fewer people used cars to get about.
Walking saw the biggest increase, with more than one third more journeys done by foot.
Barrie Duerden from the charity believes the cost of living crisis is having an impact on how people get from A to B.
"People are feeling the pinch and are looking for cheaper ways to do things, and transport is an obvious one.
Cars are expensive to run, you've got to buy them, insure them, service them and you have to put fuel in them."
He also believes that people are becoming more environmentally conscious:
"People are increasingly more aware, they know there's a lot of congestion in the island.
They're thinking about their health and the environment."
