I have been travelling on buses quite frequently recently and realised that bus fares are actually quite reasonable.
A single trip costs me only $0.91 . So a two way trip adds up to about $1.80. That is pretty affordable for my trips when I give tuition.
While travelling by car would be much faster, I get to save on the carparking. This adds up over the long haul.
It makes me wonder whether I should just sell my car away. Afterall, maintaining a car in Singapore is a costly thing to do. I reckon that it costs me about $1100 per month based on all the charges. Yikes!!!!
If you can resist the urge, you should not buy a car especially if you are single.
Think of all the things you can do with $1100 per month in EXTRA cash. You could literally eat at restaurants every single day.
