Travel by Public Transport
For longer distance journeys, public transport offers a cost-effective alternative to single occupancy car journeys
Especially when considering the actual cost of owning and running a car, including purchase price, fuel, tax, insurance, maintenance, and parking, using public transport may save you money. A week/month pass also includes a heavy discount when compared with a standard single-ride ticket. Why not consider becoming a one-car family and using public transport more often?
