This week we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking at *coughs* – using public transport. Not using your car altogether or in part is a sure-fire way to cut the cost of motoring.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, we appreciate that using public transport is not everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cup of tea and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re probably thinking \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhy would you tell a driver to stop using their car? It would be pretty pointless to cut the cost of motoring if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not driving.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 A valid point but there is reasoning behind it. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cut the cost of motoring tip #29 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Use public transport<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Book Theory Test Today<\/strong><\/a> says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Using public transport is great for longer distances. For instance, what you save on not using fuel for your car could be used to pay for train tickets. This is a highly beneficial way to cut the cost of motoring, especially if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re driving around in a fuel-guzzling behemoth.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

For a great way to grab cheap train tickets, check out the Cheap Train Tickets<\/a><\/strong> guide, which is jam-packed with top tips for getting standard class rail tickets on the cheap.<\/span><\/p>\n

The added bonus of using public transport, aside from cutting the cost of motoring, is that you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to be responsible for the driving. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dreading a five-hour journey, ditch the motor and hop on the train. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re saving money, avoiding traffic jams and getting where you want to go faster, result!<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be surprised how much using public transport can help you cut the cost of motoring and the great thing is the odds are stacked in your favour. Bus and train companies work a bit like hotels. When hotels have rooms to fill, they discount their prices. When bus and train companies need to fill seats, they do the same and you stand to grab a bargain.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re travelling a short distance, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even need the bus or train to cut the cost of motoring. Get your bike out and cycle; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s better for the environment, better for your health and better for your finances.<\/span><\/p>\n
