Source:Unlike places around the world such as London, which actively discourage people from sitting in the front seat of a taxi and often keep the passenger door locked, Australians travelling alone often rode 'shotgun' and enjoyed a chat with their cabbie.
It's become more common for people to ask first, 'can I give you a hug?', and instead of assuming a formal handshake, it's now more socially acceptable for people to just say hello and keep their hand by their side.Driving to work can be a daily nightmare for many living in Australia's capital cities but the rise of working from home has meant traffic levels have not completely returned to pre-pandemic numbers.
Nowadays, northbound traffic numbers during the afternoon peak are closer to normal especially on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, with volumes this year similar to 2019 numbers. But numbers appeared to be slightly lower on many Tuesdays and Wednesdays.Source:Another new feature of COVID-normal life is getting last-minute cancellations from friends and family who have developed any type of cold or flu symptom.
