I ditched my car – and improved my fitness, sleep and bank balance
Today is a holiday in my state in Germany and being absent minded I realized too late. If I had a car, I could just hope in and drive somewhere in the forest and have a small hike. To do the same with public transport, one needs to plan ahead and time everything perfectly. For example, the bus to take you back after the end of the hiking trip is only at the bus stop every hour, and only up till 5pm.
And owning a car does not mean you have to drive it to work everyday. I will probably buy a car in the near future, but I&#x27;ll probably still commute with public transport. At least as long as I still live in a city.<p>EDIT: If everyone ditched their cars, the housing crisis that is currently happening in literally every city in the developed world, will only get much worse.
