Use public transport

Consider using public transport if you live in an area where it is available. Public transport offers many advantages over driving:

  • lower costs (especially if parking and the fixed costs of operating a vehicle are factored in)
  • being able to relax, such as by reading a book
  • less pollution and energy use
  • less need to occupy and pave land for roading and parking spaces
  • some Super Gold Card holders can travel free on buses during off-peak hours

Find out more about public buses, trains, or ferries in your region. The following regional websites have information on routes, timetables and fares:
