I did that once in a friend's car. He had a small, barely more than a go-cart, grey something. We called it the "BB". Four bald tires, but it was paid off. Took a right at an intersection on a wet road and full 360...actually, it was more of a 540 because when we stopped we were facing in the direction we came from.

Is it wrong to say that I simply don't care how much gas costs? Unless we choose to take public transportation we will remain a captive audience to the fuel pump. I've traveled throughout Europe and experienced a per-gallon cost upwards of $6 but their public transportation is far superior to the US. Then again, I was in Boston earlier this month and found their public transportation to be both reasonable priced, comprehensive, and got me where I needed to go.

For some people (those who can't drive for various reasons), public transportation is their only option. I think it's nice to at least have the option available. I don't take public transportation much, but we have a light rail system where I am, and if I'm going to a concert or to an event at our convention center, those are a couple of its stops - I'll often take the light rail to those places so that I don't have to worry about finding a parking space there (which can sometimes be difficult). Those rides are also a particular case where it doesn't take much more time than driving to those places.
As far as the time taken, sometimes I feel like I waste a lot of time in my car stuck in traffic. There are times on the highways here where traffic slows down for no particular reason, or sometimes there's an accident somewhere that backs up traffic for quite a ways. In those cases, I feel like going 10 miles per hour in stop & go traffic on the highway isn't a good use of my time.

public transportation is inconvenient, costly to the user and the city and it can b
dangerous due to the types of people that use it.

money and took more time. i was often late to work and i got home an hour later whe
lived 15 mins away by car. i took my bike in the summer months and beat the bus ev
time.
the only good thing is i was the only guy on the bus in the morning. so that was a
waste of city money to drive one dude to 1 place with 2 buses.
for others. When I worked in downtown Los Angeles and Denver, I would take public transportation in as I loathed sitting in traffic for upwards of an hour each direction.
When going to concerts, sporting events, or simply
doing something in the "city", I'd also take public transportation. Finding parking in downtown can be hell, paying for it ridiculous, and not having to worry about being too tired to drive, all wins.
drive, I'd need to be on the road by 6am to be in the office by 7-7:15am. That's an hour of work down the drain, and for what? Again, the drive home being equally long, another hour. From an efficiency perspective, those two additional hours I'm sitting in traffic each day aren't spent working.

Exactly. People don't seem to understand the savings by taking
public transportation. You're not paying for auto insurance,
fuel, upkeep, potentially parking, and if you lease or are making
car payments, car payments. A $200 public transportation pass is
a hell of a lot cheaper than all those other expenses. Plus, you
can write-off the pass.
Not entirely true. If their policies lead to hyperinflation, then they indeed have "controlled" the price of gasoline... and everything else.
and it can b dangerous due to the types of people that use it.

It really depends on the area.
In my city, public transport funded by the administration (ie. taxes) is usually cheap but also close to useless. It is the sort of public transport which does scheduled trips which are programmed to arrive to factory X half an hour after the
corresponding turn begins :-S

Public transportation definitely takes more time, which is one of the downsides. But are you saying public transportation also cost you more money than owning a car?

You can't expect public transportation to be completely full all the time. But I can see what you mean, as it would be expensive for them to drive too few people around.
Do you realize how much time you waste taking public transportation?
do you realize it's inconvenient and costly?
That all depends. Let's just say you have an "Express Bus" that takes you from your home to downtown, it is high quality, comfortable, with minimal stops, and costs $200 per month, would you take it? If your answer is no, you are part of the problem. If you calculate the costs of fuel and

a hell of a lot cheaper than all those other expenses. Plus, you
can write-off the pass.
And so on. I just don't go to Manchester if I can avoid it.
In which state/country is this Manchester? I have been back and forth through a Manchester in Ohio. They don't appear to have public transport, but they probably do have plenty of crack/meth heads.
Exactly. People don't seem to understand the savings by taking
public transportation. You're not paying for auto insurance,
fuel, upkeep, potentially parking, and if you lease or are making
car payments, car payments. A $200 public transportation pass is
a hell of a lot cheaper than all those other expenses. Plus, you
can write-off the pass.
How long is that $200 pass good for?

I was going to say that you shouldn't apologize for someone confusing a large city for a town with about two street lights and a gas station.
But then I remembered... British. :)

Also, costly for whom? If you don't own a car at all, taking public t can be less expensive than owning a car and paying for gas, maintenanc insurance, etc..
public transportation is inconvenient, costly to the user and the city an dangerous due to the types of people that use it.
i took public transportation for a while when i had to share a car and it money and took more time. i was often late to work and i got home an hour lived 15 mins away by car. i took my bike in the summer months and beat time.
the only good thing is i was the only guy on the bus in the morning. so t waste of city money to drive one dude to 1 place with 2 buses.
It really depends on the area.
In my city, public transport funded by the administration (ie. taxes) is usu but also close to useless. It is the sort of public transport which does sch trips which are programmed to arrive to factory X half an hour after the corresponding turn begins :-S
Collective transport funded by private enterprises is a bit better. It is mu than using a car but coverage is very limited. If you are likely enough to h private bus doing a regular line you want to travel, at hours which are fine it is great. If such coincidence does not happen, you either don't get to us you get to use it at very inconvenient hours.
A friend of mine emigrated to Japan. He came back recently to pay a visit to family. The first thing he did upon purchasing a subway card was to say "You robbed like this anywhere but home."

Northern England. X43 would be like those big coach buses you can take between >earby major cities in the US.
Closest thing to public transportation is Dial a Ride. It is funded by passengers and state grants and millages. there is a fixed route and demand response service. Demand response is more expensive. Either way, you're at the mercy of when the bus shows up or how much they have to deviate off the fixed route to fulfill demand response. DART covers two townships, so you better be prepared to take the scenic route and lots of time to spare for travel. For example, if i wanted to go to the store, I would have to call the central hub, and let them know where I live. They will give me an estimate of what time a bus may be diverted to my area. Once finished shopping, I will have to wait outside the store for the bus heading back close to my home to come back through. Buses only run 7am to 5 pm M-F. Saturdays are 10am to 3pm. That's demand response. Fixed route is only M-F

If you can do without a car, then depending on your situation, $200 per mont for a public transit pass may be less expensive than car insurance, gas, perhaps a car loan if you have a loan, etc.. And without a car, you don't h to worry about the cost of maintenance and repairs.

That is about the same as upkeep on my vehicle, at least until Biden got elected and gas went back up to Obama-era prices.

Sure, it's very likely the cheaper option, but you give up the freedom (and the convenience) that a car provides. EASILY worth the extra cost,
to me.

Obama-era? I remember when gas got above $4.00 a gallon (and trending toward ) in 2008, when George W Bush was still president.

Since I work from home, we can't count me. My wife babysits our grandchildren
t our daughter's house, one of our vehicles needs to be filled up about once a
eek ($65/week). My other daughter steals my car when she goes to work, requir
g a fill-up about once every week and a half ($55/10 days). Between these two
$400ish a month.
I've been going back and forth on replacing my car with a new Ford Expedition atinum Max (love the room and comfort, the tech is okay, good power). After r
ting one in Southern California and Boston, I discovered it gets worse gas mil
ge than most V8s (RAM 1500, for example). I'm torn. Plus, do I really want m
daughter driving my newest vehicle? ;)

This is the debate echo, not the FACTS echo.
[...] but then Francisco is given no means for travelling
between his village and the cattle market office for work.
What the government does is to give you a bus that passes-
by every 4 days at the 20:00 and tells you to be a good
citizen and use that instead of your car.
I am undescribably bummed by this because there is talk
here about increasing the costs of private intercity
transport by billing tolls each time you go in or out of a
small to middle-sized town. [...]

If you're in a big city, add in the cost of parking tickets. When I was in college in San Francisco without a parking space, tickets may have been my biggest expense.
This was before smart phones and calendars that could tell you if it was the first or third Friday of the month when looking at the street cleaning signs.

I work mostly from home nowadays (only go into the office to babysit a handful of servers) and drive a Prius Plug-in from 2014. 10 miles of electric range and a blended 55 mpg means I fill up once every 2 weeks or so. about $40 each time. :)
I'm looking for something new, but the MPG keeps me driving it. I hate the new Priuses.
