    I’m making this work, sort of, in that I live in a one-bus-a-week village but swapped my car out 3yrs back for an electric moped.

    Its so much cheaper and nice that a car isn’t lying around unused. I was ready to suck up the cost of hire cars/taxis but have maybe had 1 or 2 in that period.

    Like you say, it has to work for you but I think most don’t realise how car ownership doesn’t have to be a thing

      Didn’t expect someone to agree who lives in a village, interesting and kudos to you! I live in suburbs of a big city with good public transport options. And whenever that’s not enough there’s a commercial car sharing provider at a parking space down the road. Plus cycling of course.
