Snook Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 No it isn't silly, saying that people need cars is silly. You tell me who really needs a car. A driving instructor? A taxi driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulgarian Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 A driving instructor? A taxi driver? That is to actually do their job, not just to get to/from it, which is what we are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the point, but it is no good saying people don't need a car, it's the same as saying people don't need a house, or any clothes that cost over £4. You might as well be realistic. The bus and train services aren't even much cheaper than a car these days, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a car and I've managed just fine. A car costs more than 12 quid a week to own, which is what I used to spend getting to work and back on the tram.

Try to imagine you didn't live in a place where you could get on and off a tram or a bus, how would you suggest getting to work then, assuming you don't want to spend more than you would on a car, on taxis?

chimay Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I work from 8am to 4.30pm. The first bus doesn't come this way until 8.00am and gets into town at 8.20 then I have a 10 minute walk, making me 30 minutes late for work. When I finish work at 4.30 I miss the 4.30 bus by approx 10 minutes so I then have to wait until 5.30 for the next bus. I need my car............

So finaly we all seem to be in agreement that no-one needs a car! Back on topic. Are we any closer to finding out how much a young man needs to raise a family?
