4 Money-Saving Alternatives to Driving a Car

alternative to drivingOn just about every road in the country, cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles whiz by one another in tight clusters. Crossing the road has become a thirty-minute endeavor at any popular intersection and cars are bumper to bumper with each other. As such, the number of car accidents and injuries due to car accidents has skyrocketed in recent years. In fact, roughly 50% of all personal injury lawsuits involve auto accidents.

On the other hand, you can live your life injury free but still be forced to deal with the congested roadways and too-busy-to-care drivers that occupy them. That’s why so many people are ditching their cars and opting for these alternative modes of transportation.

Walking

To nobody’s surprise, walking is one of the main alternatives to driving a car. However, the practicality of this method is subject to the area in which you live. For instance, if you live 20 miles from the nearest grocery store or your place of employment, then you better be a fast walker. Walking is really only a feasible alternative if you live in urban areas where you can get to the majority of places that you’d need to go within minutes. You can also wave at all of the cars stuck in rush-hour traffic as you walk by.

Bus

Public transit buses can be an ideal mode of transportation, especially for those who live in cities or other areas where traffic makes it difficult to drive your own vehicle. Moreover, the more people who take buses, the fewer cars there are on the road, helping to relieve the obscene amount of traffic congestion. Motorcoaches are great options for adventures outside of your daily predesignated route, such as going to your parent’s house or a day trip out of the city. Motorcoaches are responsible for 751 million passenger trips every year and move more people in certain years than commercial airlines. They can be a fantastic alternative to driving your own vehicle, particularly if you’re a fan of meeting new people.

Motorized Scooter

Did you ditch the four wheels in an effort to save some money on gas? Maybe you wanted to feel the wind on your face. In any case, trading your car for a motorized scooter can be a wonderful alternative method of transportation, especially if you’re into saving money. Scooters get much better gas mileage compared to the majority of cars and trucks and can even have a less harmful impact on the environment. Essentially versatile in any area, whether you live in the middle of a bustling city or a quiet little town with two stoplights and a diner and can give you a sense of freedom.

Bicycle

Another great alternative for those who want to save money and help the environment, taking a bike to and from your destinations can be a fantastic alternative mode of transportation. Additionally, taking a bike can help improve your physical health as well. Coronary heart disease was reduced by 50% when people cycled 20 miles each week, according to a study conducted by the British Medical Association. You can also expect a boost to your metabolism, a greater passion for the outdoors and a fatter wallet.

Driving a car can be a great way for some people to get around but with roughly 110 million annual visits to the emergency room, many of which are a result of an auto accident, a safe and inexpensive alternative can make the world of difference. Maybe you decided it isn’t worth the risk to drive yourself around anymore or maybe you are looking to save some money; these alternatives can simplify your life.
