Despite the increasing volume of cars on the road, and the number of accidents involving private vehicles, many Filipinos still desire to own a car. And why not, when it will actually help you alleviate a lot of common road or transportation challenges you face on a day-to-day basis?
Here are some of the reasons why YOU should get a car too!
Traffic Jam – The number one (1) reason! What’s worse than being stuck in traffic for hours while standing on a bus on your way to work or home. If you are a commuter from north to south or vice versa, then you know how difficult it is. There are times when it takes more than 3 terrible hours!!! Imagine if you’re sitting in your own car with sufficient ventilation and good air condition – it’s probably an okay way to get stuck – still not fun to be stuck in traffic!
The Commute Battle – Given the number of people on the road commuting via our public transportation daily, there are several physical challenges one might encounter. There’s the crowd you have to deal with, sometimes up close and too personal (imagine the inside of our trains during rush hours). Depending on the season, there’s also a chance you’ll easily get exposed to different viruses and bacteria through the people around you.
Transportation Fares – It’s already difficult to travel with the traffic and crowd, then the fare?! While taking a bus or a jeep remains to be the most affordable way to commute, there are alternative transportation channels which might cost you more than spending for your own car, if ever.
Convenient Family Vector – Most of us want to travel and have fun with our family without the hassle of public transportation commute, exposing you and your family members to pollution, potential bad weather, exhaustion, and many more. I can’t think of a better way to spend your family vacation on a trip with your own car. Don’t forget to consider the unit as a service vehicle for your kids to school.
Extra Income – Nowadays, there are so many ways to earn with the help of your car. There’s utilizing it for transport network groups, like Grab. You can also use it for carpooling and save. You can even post an ad on the body of your car and get paid monthly.
