The use of "would" in the sentence

[anhnha]

I used to live here and would travel into district 1 to work every morning passing new developments on each side of the road all the way into the city.

Could you explain why we used "would" here?

 

[SoothingDave]

"I would travel" indicates habitual action.

Thank you,
Can you tell me more about this? Maybe a link or something relating to the use of "would" for this case.
I cannot find the use in my grammar books and on the net.

P.S I have just found the usage here:
