Yes you can! Both are perfectly fine to use in this scenario. I believe the narrator uses "as they travel" instead of "traveling" to make the sentence more situational and personal for those who use public transportation daily. Keep in mind however, that if you do change "as they travel" to "traveling" you will have to change the sentence slightly and the verb "go." The sentence could be, " from traveling to work in the mornings, to going home at night." Changing the sentence will ensure an easier transition from the previous sentence, along with making it sound more natural.
