Why do you use your car?

[birdsandbees]

I take my granddaughter to nursery then go on to work, I have to be there for 8.30am, I tried going by bus for a month, as I dont live that far out of town, but trying to get the buggy onto the bus in a morning, then getting off, taking her to nursery, waiting for the next bus to come past with space, by the time I get to work (usualy late) I feel stressed, so back to the car I went.

How about driving to nursery leaving the car there and bussing in?

I use mine to tow my caravan on holiday.

Never seen a bus or tram with a tow hook.

At least one that goes where I want to go.

[sccsux]

lots of local people used their car because it was there

 

Which is more than be said for the buses. Anyway, what's wrong with using something you've paid for?

 

There's no need for 30odd inch TVs, yet people buy and use them.

I'm not saying its right or wrong, just posing the question.

 

I found it really interesting that people would rather sit in congested traffic for 10 minutes when they could walk in 5.

Do people actually do that? I drive a lot but I'm not that daft.

I rarely use it, but I keep one because I like to get out into the countryside and the bus only takes you to the ice-cream-and-burgers tourist hotspots, not the lovely, out of the way places. Plus it's the only way to get to the relatives who live out of the way. I also use it for holidays as I stay in the UK and it's handy to have it for getting out to places like Meadowhall, IKEA or supermarkets etc. and carrying back heavy garden supplies.

 

But I never use it to get to the city centre as it would just be senseless living so close! Much cheaper and less hassle by bus.

 

I'd love it if we had pay-per-mile tax and insurance!

I use my car only for the reason that i felt that i was being unfairly discriminated against at swingers parties, i found that the best birds dont get over enthusiastic pulling my bicycle clips out of the hat.

I use my car because i get hammered on tax,insurance,petrol,servicing,repairs etc etc...and after all that,why would i want to pay x amount of pounds per week on top of that to use public transport?Take note any of the Sheffield anti-car councillors reading this!

I Use Mine Because I Can Maybe Sometimes I Feel Quilty Going Less Than A Mile Plus It Is A 4 Litre.
