I get the "what do you mean you've never owned a car?" reaction all the time. I love then asking people, "So, how much money did you spend on keeping your car last month?" Seems like few people really consider just how much that 'freedom' of car ownership actually costs them.

Visited Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. It seemed like Sydney and Melbourne have a efficient public transport system and people ARE using it. But in Perth, even the buses are very nice and there seemed to be lot of routes, the buses were half empty. Maybe it was holiday season and all the students were out of city, but it remainded a lot of public transportation in some cities in the United States, were there is only certain group of people using buses. In Chicago I used to take a train to my hotel near airport and it seemed like I was the only hotel guest entering the hotel by train, the other people were cleaning ladies and other kind of stuff in their working clothes. I live in Finland and I think we have the opposite. If you have public transport in hand, you have to explain why did you take your car :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
