The post-pandemic shift to working from home means disruption caused by the strikes has been more limited.
The rail strikes this week had threatened to bring the country to a halt.
Office occupancy data across the UK on Tuesday was just 22%, compared to 40% the same day last week, according to workplace technology firm Freespace.Ben Willmott, head of public policy for HR trade body the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, says more flexible ways of working have helped employees work from home with short notice.
The AA says it appears most drivers have been able to go about their journeys "without too much disruption". AA breakdown rates are also slightly lower than usual. National Highways also said there hadn't been a spike in traffic, with levels down 1% on Tuesday compared to 2019. E-scooters in London have had around 6,500 hires per day in June but this jumped to more than 10,000 hires on Tuesday.
