Transport is at an all-time high right now when it comes to cost, and unfortunately, the majority of us still need to be able to get around regardless.
This can be tricky for those who are struggling with the increase in the cost of living or have limited travel options and need to fork out on cabs, and many will be looking for new ways to save money while keeping their freedom.
This piece is going to take a look at how you can save money on transport and some of the changes you could implement into your life to help make this easier.
Read on to find out more!
Day Savers and Weekly Passes
If you are someone who already uses public transport, then opting for day savers or weekly passes could make a significant difference to your finances. There are usually great savings to be had when you buy ahead of time, and discounts are often applied for those who opt for an all-day ticket over a single, meaning you can use the ticket as much as you like for one day, week, or month, for a limited extra cost.
If you are a senior citizen or have a disability, look into any extra help with public transport you might be entitled to as well.
Get Cycling
If you are willing and able to, to get cycling for your transport can offer you so many benefits. Not only is cycling free (once you have a bike and helmet, of course), but it is great for your cardiovascular and mental health, it can get you from A to B in a reasonable time, and there is no need to worry about fuel costs, filling up, or any other inconveniences that come with having a motor vehicle.
This is a particularly great option for those who want to get active and only have to travel short distances every day!
Get a Scooter
Scooters are an excellent option for those who want their own travel options but are not able to afford a car of their own (or to run it) and would like something a little faster and easier than a bike. Scooters are great for short and local trips and can get you somewhere twice as fast as cycling without any of the huffing and puffing. You can also choose from some very stylish options, such as the Piaggio electric scooter.
Carpool
Carpooling is nothing new and perhaps something we need to rely on more than ever. Sharing rides with others that are going to the same destination as you will not only reduce your carbon footprint for the environment, but it can also save you money on fuel and even allow you to have a more pleasant journey depending on those in the car!
Choose from these suggestions to make getting around a lot easier and cheaper in your life, and always keep your eyes peeled for deals and alternatives to where you need to go.
