, the advancement of the vehicle and transportation system pushes the public to be less active.

Nevertheless

, there are solutions to these. In order to promote a healthy way of life, the government sector had taken a proactive step

that is

by introducing flexible working hours.

the workers will be able to gain more time in the evening to be active and
