With the increased cost in driving recently, I sometimes have problems trying to decide if I should drive or take public transport. I have thus come up with several rules to decide between public transport and driving:
- The 5 dollar rule. If I save 5 dollars outright (eg. parking+ERP only) or more taking public transport, I’ll take it.
- The 1 change rule. If I have to change more than once to get to my destination, forget it. In other words, if it’s not on the NS line, I’m driving!
- If it involves 2 buses, forget it.
- If it’s raining, forget it.
- If it’s ulu, forget it.
- If I’ve never gone there before, forget it.
Say I’m extravagant, whatever. My time is more valuable than getting stuck in public transportation and walking unfortunately. Of course this is only for now. These rules will change I if decide that transportation gets better.
