I do skateboard to school when I've got a lot of energy and don't want to go to first period, but it's about an hour's skate [two hour walk] to school so that's not something I can easily do every day.

At the moment I take the school bus, but I'll be moving this summer and have to take a city bus to school next year. Of course, I'll get a bus pass, but $50/month is still expensive.

Also, Fairview Mall, Conestoga Mall, Stone Road Mall, theatres, downtown, the skatepark, etc. are all pretty far away from the area where most people live, so getting there requires public transit or a ride as well.

But if you take the city bus it would actually be cheaper a month then gas. You spend like $40 a week for a full tank of gas as an estimate. It depends what type of car you have. But still a city bus sounds better to me than driving a car every day. A car would be more expensive.

Those special types of cars are expensive though.

However, the oil companies have such a hold on our governments because of profits that hydrogen cars and the like remain much more expensive.

Honestly, buying a hybrid, or hydrogen car wouldn't save you anything.

As Ajay said, expensive is the word. They may save gas, but if the car costs 20 thousand next to my truck that costs a whole 1 grand, you'll lose money.

You could just take the money that you put out for the car, and stick it in your gas tank. Either way, new cars are not the answer. Americans need to drill their own oil, and build more refineries.

Used hydrogen vehicles are only about $8000.

If you say that gas is averaging around $1.25/litre right now, and let's say one fills up 25L every 2 days [which is about how often my dad refills]; the $7000 the truck saved you from the start is gone in less than a year and a half.

Lol, they have cars that run on vegetable oil and electric cars. Flying cars wont happen, unless they give it a structure like planes, but then it would cause to many accidents, and then the gotta make floating stop lights lol/
