Exactly. Not having a car is only a money saver if you place next to zero value on your time and what you can do with it.
If I switched to taking public transit to work, the additional childcare costs alone from the increased hours I'd be outside of the house would likely negate any savings I might have otherwise achieved.
- hgomersall 5y agoOften on public transport, you can usefully do far more than you can driving, so it's not entirely wasted. I used to joke I was most productive on a train and so should set up my office on one. Similarly for active transport, you get free exercise.
