Mode of transport: car, bike, legs, magic carpet, teleporter?

Debbie

How do you get about and are you happy with your mode of transport?

I used my legs, pushbike, moped, buses and trains until 17 years ago when I got my 1st car.

Now my car has died and I don't anticipate being able to drive again, for various reasons.

I'm wanting to make the best of this - far less expense and what I find the unpleasant experience of driving and grappling with other aggressive drivers.

I might get fitter.

I do have a couple of people who would be willing to give me lifts when necessary.

Any upsides anyone can see to me being car free, but also, what about you?

ps.  I no longer work, so that's a huge advantage when not having your own transport.

    I don't drive yet. The area I live in doesn't allow public buses and taxis. I usually ride the school bus to school and my parents drive me wherever else I need to be. I guess some upsides for me are not having to figure out how to get places or how to drive and also it's better for the environment when I walk or ride my bike places in the summer.
