- Yes it is.In my experience it is a pretty close thing when you talk about
- travelling to work in a city. You obviously use more petrol in rush hour
- than a similar journey at other times and the added cost of parking
- means a bus pass would be cheaper. I feel the reason most people drive
- rather than take public transport into the centre of Birmingham has
- nothing to do with the relative prices, how many people even work it out?
