If I never had to drive again, I'd be so happy. My job requires I drive :(
I gotta say, I'm really lucky where I am now. I'm in a PhD program right now. My husband and I moved to a college town from the big sprawling traffic nightmare that is Houston a few years back. He's able to work from home; I'm able to bike or take the bus to campus. We have just one car for the household, and we get gas once every couple months. It's glorious.
Yeah, that sounds really nice. I work construction so almost every site is hard to reach with public transportation or, too far for biking.
My best option is to get a very fuel efficient vehicle or, a motorcycle lol
Another example of employer shifting economic costs on the worker.
With increasing cost to operate a vehicle in the US, i not sure how long the expectation that worker must own a car to drive where employers needs can last.
Cars are getting expensive, having every adult operate one is bad for family finances.
