I did that once in a friend's car. He had a small, barely more than a go-cart, grey something. We called it the "BB". Four bald tires, but it was paid off. Took a right at an intersection on a wet road and full 360...actually, it was more of a 540 because when we stopped we were facing in the direction we came from.

In Lancashire it's 1.50 (pounds) a litre. So, that's 5.67 (pounds) a gallon.
So, in dollars that's... $7.69 a gallon.

Presidents have no control over the cost of gasoline. It is the oil cartels that drive prices up through the reduction of supply.
Exactly. People don't seem to understand the savings by taking
public transportation. You're not paying for auto insurance,
fuel, upkeep, potentially parking, and if you lease or are making
car payments, car payments. A $200 public transportation pass is
a hell of a lot cheaper than all those other expenses. Plus, you
can write-off the pass.
And so on. I just don't go to Manchester if I can avoid it.
In which state/country is this Manchester? I have been back and forth through a Manchester in Ohio. They don't appear to have public transport, but they probably do have plenty of crack/meth heads.

Also, costly for whom? If you don't own a car at all, taking public t can be less expensive than owning a car and paying for gas, maintenanc insurance, etc..
public transportation is inconvenient, costly to the user and the city an dangerous due to the types of people that use it.
i took public transportation for a while when i had to share a car and it money and took more time. i was often late to work and i got home an hour lived 15 mins away by car. i took my bike in the summer months and beat time.
the only good thing is i was the only guy on the bus in the morning. so t waste of city money to drive one dude to 1 place with 2 buses.
It really depends on the area.
In my city, public transport funded by the administration (ie. taxes) is usu but also close to useless. It is the sort of public transport which does sch trips which are programmed to arrive to factory X half an hour after the corresponding turn begins :-S
Collective transport funded by private enterprises is a bit better. It is mu than using a car but coverage is very limited. If you are likely enough to h private bus doing a regular line you want to travel, at hours which are fine it is great. If such coincidence does not happen, you either don't get to us you get to use it at very inconvenient hours.
A friend of mine emigrated to Japan. He came back recently to pay a visit to family. The first thing he did upon purchasing a subway card was to say "You robbed like this anywhere but home."

Northern England. X43 would be like those big coach buses you can take between >earby major cities in the US.
Closest thing to public transportation is Dial a Ride. It is funded by passengers and state grants and millages. there is a fixed route and demand response service. Demand response is more expensive. Either way, you're at the mercy of when the bus shows up or how much they have to deviate off the fixed route to fulfill demand response. DART covers two townships, so you better be prepared to take the scenic route and lots of time to spare for travel. For example, if i wanted to go to the store, I would have to call the central hub, and let them know where I live. They will give me an estimate of what time a bus may be diverted to my area. Once finished shopping, I will have to wait outside the store for the bus heading back close to my home to come back through. Buses only run 7am to 5 pm M-F. Saturdays are 10am to 3pm. That's demand response. Fixed route is only M-F

If you can do without a car, then depending on your situation, $200 per mont for a public transit pass may be less expensive than car insurance, gas, perhaps a car loan if you have a loan, etc.. And without a car, you don't h to worry about the cost of maintenance and repairs.

Sure, it's very likely the cheaper option, but you give up the freedom (and the convenience) that a car provides. EASILY worth the extra cost,
to me.

Obama-era? I remember when gas got above $4.00 a gallon (and trending toward ) in 2008, when George W Bush was still president.

What the government does is to give you a bus that passes-

If you're in a big city, add in the cost of parking tickets. When I was in college in San Francisco without a parking space, tickets may have been my biggest expense.

I work mostly from home nowadays (only go into the office to babysit a handful of servers) and drive a Prius Plug-in from 2014. 10 miles of electric range and a blended 55 mpg means I fill up once every 2 weeks or so. about $40 each time. :)
I'm looking for something new, but the MPG keeps me driving it. I hate the new Priuses.
