Benefits of car free travel

Did you know car free travel:

• Generally saves you money – compare the cost of a train ticket to CBD car parking and petrol.
• Reduces your waistline - public transport users get an average 41 mins of physical activity as part of their travel; car drivers get only 8 mins (more info).
• Keeps our streets clear - one full tram takes up to 140 cars off the road, and one full metropolitan train can remove as many as 800 cars off the road (more info).
• Is faster! If you live within 10km of your workplace, car free commuting can be much faster than driving.

Car free travel in the city is faster and saves you money.  Want proof?  See results of a race between various forms of transport on World Car Free Day in 2010.
