The advantages of public transport

The advantages of public transport

Public transport is very popular here in the UK and vitally so as we are a little pressed for space. It is a great way to get around and it can also save you a couple of quid on car insurance, parking fees, breakdown cover and car maintenance costs.

Buses

Travelling by bus is arguably the best way to get around London as they give you an idea of where you are and a better idea of the layout of the city. It  will also help you to become familiar with landmarks and travelling routes around our capital.

The Underground

The underground is the fastest way to get from A – B but the price you have to pay is that you won’t be able to see the city, you can’t feel like atmosphere and it can (if you are an inexperienced Londoner) leave you disorientated and could even get you lost! But the tubes are extremely efficient and can save you a bunch of time and money.

Ferries

Travelling by ferry is a great way to get around London, should you be going somewhere near the river banks that is. You get to see the city in a completely different light and from an entirely fresh perspective, it is quite something travelling up the Thames by ferry approaching Tower Bridge and the same goes for travelling down the river to Greenwich.

Utilising public transport is a great way to get around any city and even more so in London while saving yourself some cash in the process. If you don’t own a car it means you don’t have monthly installments to settle, no car insurance to pay and no maintenance costs to account for. I think it is brilliant.
