I’m slowly but surely transitioning from driving to cycling to the point I’m going to have to change jobs to stop driving all together. While this surely has many health and environmental benefits, I was wondering about the financial benefits. Those of you who have already made the transition, how much have you save by not driving?
I switched in the other direction (cycling + public transit -> car) and have spending some 2600€ on fuel, insurance and other car related stuff, yearly (vs 900€ for public transit fares)
That made sense for me because the reduced commute time (3hrs daily -> ~1h20) allowed me to pick up a part time job teaching at the university I study at (+5000€/yr).
