    I haven't drove in about four years. I have learned a lot about using public transportation and car pooling. I live in a big city where taking the bus at night can be scary. I generally will have someone to with me if I have to go somewhere after dark. I make sure I have the correct bus routes and bus numbers so I don't get lost. Sometimes it's an issue at night that people might not give you the correct buses to be on, whether it's an honest mistake or they are not friendly. So just be extra careful if using public transportation at night.

    As a Senior Citizen I have curtailed any excess driving & limit myself to grocery trips & doctor appointments. I've also learn that as a Senior it is possible to older insurance costs by parking & not using your vehicle during winter months (Nov.-Dec. through March-April). Avoids the need to deal w/snow & ice & saves gas, car care, stress of possible accidents, and/or damage to your vehicle!

    I use the multi surge plugs where it is possible to plug in the rechargeable items & once charged there is a switch to turn off those outlets (up to 6). You will always find at least 2 outlets you can use that will continue to supply power to those items that need constant power. These surge "boxes" have greatly decreased my electric usage.

    For those of us who live out in the country but do not have horses and buggies, walking or even a bike may be unrealistic. Rather than not drive, plan the trip better so as many errands as possible can be done in one round trip.

    I have learned that walking to some location you normally travel to by car takes a lot longer than you might guess if you've never done it before. So it's good advice to do test runs to manage your time. Unfortunately, I work out of my car so there are not too many ways I can cut down on my transportation costs. Of course, I do try to group my errands by need and location when I'm out and about. I rarely get in the car to just go to a single location, like the grocery store, and then back home.
