Hello everyone,
It has been some time since I've been here. The last few months have been very busy: landed my first job, moved to a new city, looking for a place to stay etc. Now that the dust has settled, I hope to be more regular. (Loving the new look, BTW)
So, I'm looking for some advice from all the wise folks on AAC about buying a vehicle in a big city. Right now, I'm staying close to my workplace so I walk to work which is really pleasant and cheap. It is well-connected by bus and suburb trains and almost all basic needs are close by.
A couple of friends advised me, though, to buy a scooter/motorbike nonetheless because of the mobility it would provide but I'm not sold.
As I said, it's a big city and the distances are more. Going anywhere worthwhile can be prohibitive enough on my trainee-engineer pay. Plus the public transport options are almost great.
What do you think about owning a vehicle? Is the mobility worth the investment?
