I mean - sure, if you make the freaking public transport at least a decent option, mister minister. When it costs twice as much as a car, and takes twice as much time to get to work then you can fuck off with your sanctimonious pleading. I don’t drive the car because I like to.







Sure, why not.
My car does 5l/100km. Distance to work is 31 km, so 62 both ways. That makes it 3.05l of gas. Gas was about 13.50 over the past year (it will be more now obviously, but who know what exactly), that makes it about 41kr for gas for the day.
One way ticket in public transport is 37kr. That is if I go straight to work and straight back. But often, I would like to stop by and do my shopping on the way back - then the ticket goes up to 42kr. That makes it 79kr for the day.
It is not exactly double, but I would say close enough.
I know you will be all like “but gas is not the only cost of having the car!!!”. To which I have to say - unfortunately when you live in a suburb, the car is part of the cost of the house. I tried living in the suburb without it, it took me an hour to take my dog to the vet. My doctor is 9km away - I won’t bike there with a flu. So I’ve come to the conclusion that owning the car is just a part of the price of a suburban home ownership, hence I don’t count it to my daily cost, as I would have had it anyway, even if I took the train to work every day.
