Who loves the morning commute? Nobody! But it’s there and a proper pain for most people. Also, it’s not cheap.

There is a company in Dublin that is offering this chance of a lifetime. They will pay you €1000 and you don’t have to do anything special. You just need to go to work and back each day just like you do now. Their name Is Green Electric Scooters. They are offering €1000 a month to 5 applicants. The only thing these chosen few need to do is log their experiences when they make their regular daily commute. Here is a direct link to the job application.
Details of the Job
Each chosen commuter will be paid €50 each day. They only need to log their experiences of 20 return commutes in one month to qualify for the €1000 a month offer. As the name of the company implies, it is an electric scooter company. They are conducting a study to figure out the time it takes to make the daily commute using an electric scooter in Ireland and compare it with making the daily commute using a private car or public transport. The other experiences that need to be logged include work productivity, levels of motivation as well as overall attitude when using another mode of transportation.
As per the job description, the commuters will have to be a part of a number of experiments during these 4 weeks. These experiments have been designed by the company to compare transportation using private cars, public transport and electric scooters. It will log various factors such as productivity, fatigue, sense of enjoyment as well as stress levels.
All the participants are required to participate in a video call before and after the experiment in order to make sure that they are aware of the things they are expected to do. They will also have to answer a verbal questionnaire detailing their overall experience. The exercise spans 4 weeks and after the end of 4 weeks, each of the chosen commuters will get €1000 for participation.
Electric scooters have become extremely popular in countries where they are allowed to be on the road. The Irish government is currently reviewing the laws and general expectation is that electric scooters will be made legal for transportation in one manner or another by the end of 2021.
Cormac Reynolds, who works for Green Electric Scooters, said that the number of people who want an easier and faster commute is increasing. Electric scooters are not only greener but also a faster and cheaper form of transportation. The city of Dublin has a lot of things going for it but public transportation isn’t one of them.
He also said that this exercise will provide them valuable insights into a commuter’s experience of completing their daily commute on an electric scooter in various circumstances. It will give them the data they need to confirm certain theories regarding the use of electric scooter as well as allow them to create a better product.
