Planning to buy a car? Do you feel you have the necessary resources to be a proud owner of a car? The answer might be yes, but think again before purchasing your car. With the rise in premiums, think if you really require a car or are you buying it just for your social standing. Do you think you receive value for the amount you pay for the maintenance costs, road tax and fuel that your car consumes?

UK is one of the few countries in the world that have good public transport network. However, there are still few areas that require investment for repair and development. But the big debatable question is what comes first – the investment or the customer? The perpetual problem with the people in the UK is making them use public transport instead of their private cars. If you are in London, you are sure to find a bus to take you to your destination. But Scots aren’t that lucky!

They can’t simply dump their cars at home and use facilities like the bus or train as there aren’t too many services as such. People have lost trust in some of the public services preventing people from using such services.

So until public transport is easily available and cost effective at the same time, people will be tempted to use their cars!
