My costs per month:
Car: £300
Insurance: £35
Fuel: £100
Tax: £2 (rounded up, over 12 months)
Maintenance: £50 (rough estimate)
Total cost: £487
Bus ticket: £95
The only benefit of having a car is that its not public transport and its available whenever you want. Providing there is a regular enough service from GNE (Where my ticket cost is from) in the area you live and work then its hands down cheaper.
As I've said many times before, as a 'young person', even the cost of the insurance is more than I pay for my all zone ticket. So for someone like me, even if they didn't do the 60 miles a day I do, it's cheaper by bus
