God, it makes it not much more than three times the price of using

But you don't have to shell out several thousand for a car, money for
road tax, some for insurance, and more for maintenance of the car.

But if you already own a car (like wot most families do) then those are sunk
costs and irrelevant to the decision.

And, if you buy cars that are three years old or over, even on a fully
costed basis running a car will only be about 20p a mile, so the car still
works out much cheaper for that particular journey.

Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing".

You said it, mate.
