But even if you don&#8217;t live in the city, public transportation may be a great choice, not only to help the environment but to also save yourself a considerable amount of money. Not only would\u00a0we not have to pay for the the car itself, the\u00a0gas that powers our cars to get us from home to work and back again, but you may also avoid tolls and car maintenance bills. We can also avoid the monthly car insurance bill as well and when the\u00a0average cost of a car insurance premium in 2009 was $1,800,\u00a0that breaks down to be $150 a month. That is $150 we can save or even use to buy something more important. <\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-34339\"><\/span>It was reported by the\u00a0American Public Transportation\u00a0 Associtation(APTA) that the average person driving in or to a city could save between $8,000-$13,000 anually. It is easy to see that by using a public transportation option, bus or rail, and only renting a car when we are planning to go somewhere where public transportation is not available is the most finacially responsible thing to do. Not only are\u00a0we helping protect the enviorment and reduce city\u00a0traffic,\u00a0but we are also putting money back into our own pockets.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34343\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/public-transportation-or-car\/carbusbike-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-34343\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/carbusbike1-500x280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/EwTQW4Jc9XeJj2ir7IP0s8gDcgs\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/EwTQW4Jc9XeJj2ir7IP0s8gDcgs\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/EwTQW4Jc9XeJj2ir7IP0s8gDcgs\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/EwTQW4Jc9XeJj2ir7IP0s8gDcgs\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In many of American cities, it is just more viable to take public transport with gridlock traffic consuming the cities.
