Are You Still Using Your Car....

I was about to buy a car two months back, but changed that idea at the last moment! I am having already a scooter which i prefer to use for short distance journey and catch bus for long distance journeys.

I would much rather take puclic transportation, but we don't have any there. A taxi is $20 one way to my office (I've done this). We are in mountains, so a bicycle is impractical.

In my student years & later, I used to hitchhike a lot:)
/as public transportation was quite expensive here too.. & not very convenient or widely available/

I think it's great to use public transportation or a bicycle or carpool with other people, whenever possible!! Not just because of gas prices, but also because of the planet!! We do want a healthy environment to live in, no?:)

I live in a 'countryside' area too, so taxis are not really an alternative, & buses are rare, & there's no train.. So, what one can do is schedule trips to town & do many things at one visit, carpool with other people when possible.. walk or hitchhike, hehe:)

Walking or cycling is healthy anyway!!:)

I don't have a car. I don't need a car, because I live in a town with an excellent public ransportation system. Even if I did need a car I would not be able to use it, becaue I am legally blind. I will never be able to see well enough to drive, bu that is no problem or me. I am happy the way I am.
