We humans live in a place where there are cars everywhere. Most of us have such easy access to cars that we have multiple cars at our hand. Nowadays, having a car seems just as expensive as fueling the car.
Gas prices are expensive, and with the Russia-Ukrainian war they are only getting higher. Some people are struggling to get to their usual daily commute and have cut back on their car usage.
With this being said, gas cars are seemingly getting inconvenient for use. Not only are they not economy efficient, they are also not environmentally friendly. This is a great time to make a switch and change to a different way of transportation.
The Bay Area offers many options to make this switch easy. Public transportation in the Bay Area is inexpensive and easy to get around. The VTA system is a great way of getting around San Jose. There is also the BART station and the Caltrain as other options.
Now if public transportation isn’t your style, there are eclectic cars.
Gov. Gavin Newson also stated how California will no longer be selling gas cars by 2035. Instead, we can opt for a car like a Tesla. Companies like Toyota and Hyundai are also making hydrogen cars. Both of these options are significantly more efficient than gas powered cars.
Now just imagine yourself with a car that can be powered by a plug in the wall or hydrogen gas. Imagine how little you would have to pay to have a full tank of fuel. Picture that you are still making the same commute everyday, and now have a bit more to spend on yourself instead of on petroleum gas.
All we need to do is make a convenient switch to either public transportation or more efficient cars. Make the decision to end the scare of rising gas prices.
