King Kai is in one window, rear driver side, Kid Trunks is in the opposite, theres 4 or 5 (i think) to collect and I'm after all of them incase your feeling generous :p

The bus to town and back is like £4 :/ I used to get that much pocket money a week when I was younger!

SHAD0W 01-05-2009 04:16 PM

its 4 now!? FFS!!

No longer shall i refer to the bus as the peasant wagon, it costs more than my car per journey!

It'll be very difficult to beat public transit in terms of overall cost/km. Especially in Japan where it's fairly expensive to maintain a vehicle.

With that being said, I don't have any public transit in my town so I have 2 cars. One for commuting and one for fun. :)

Id say depends on your situation and where you live. I live in the suburbs outside of Washington D.C. having a car out here vs public transportation is a lot more convenient and in the long run is cheaper so it was kind of hard to pick one option. But if you weigh bus passes metro passes time on the bus round trips a car is cheaper in the long run.

College students maybe not so much because of tuition and cost of living and other school supplies. In the end for my situation having a car is cheaper in the long run but thats just for me.

Im pretty sure that public transport is cheaper

It depends on what you use to get to your job and back. My dad can walk to work because it's a little less than a mile away, but doesn't want to walk. My mom's work is like two miles away so she takes a car too. My brother's job is right across the street from my mom's.

None of us need to use public transportation because we don't go to the city or need to use a bus for anything. Driving is cheapest for us because we all don't live too far from work.

I walk to work because my job is walking! :mtongue:

over here in germany gas is about €1.10 a liter. I ride the bus which for a day ticket is €5.60 (bastards raised the prices again as they do every end of the year) and one way €2.40.
Right now the bus is cheaper because just getting a car and its upkeep is to expensive with insurance, car taxes, potential repair costs and gas all together.
