I’m on a pay-as-you-go plan with CAA, so insurance is dirt cheap… something like $50 for 1000km of driving (that amount covers both my wife and I). My previous insurance was close to $150 / month, even if we didn’t use the car, so that was a total ripoff.
Gas also depends on how much I drive. Since I choose to bike everywhere within a 20km range, it means I’m not driving nearly as much.
If I had to take my car EVERYWHERE, including very short trips (<3km away), then it would cost more for sure.
But it’s really hard for me to justify the cost of a bus pass in lieu of other modes of transportation.
Yeah, I should add at least some context. LOL
