Default High costs of commuting to CBD.

Just found this article and it rings true to anyone that drives to the city to work instead of using public transport..... I have recently been using buses and trains myself because I lost my license and have come to the conclusion that it is much cheaper burning up someone elses fuel, tyres and brakes and servicing costs than driving yourself....And that is besides the woeful traffic conditions!

Luckily even though I live in a country town ther are still buses to two different train stations on opposite sides of the hills.

This article is saying most of us are spending up to 15-20k per year on each car which sounds about right if you pay someone for servicing and repairs... And your car payments too.

I do most of my servicing myself
