Though New York City offers a range of public transportation options, some commuters still prefer getting around the good ole fashion way--by car. While there may always be reasons why city-goers prefer getting into their own cars over the metro, the dollar van industry is making driving your own vehicle throughout the city a lot less sensible each day. From avoiding parking and fuel fees to hassle-free travel, here are three reasons why dollar vans are better than driving.
It’s cheaper.
By using dollar vans as their main option to get to and from work, commuters bypass the daily costs of tolls, parking, and the occasional ticket. Even the most resourceful drivers need to budget for monthly auto insurance and will always be at the mercy of citywide transportation fees. For a mere $2, dollar vans move along fixed routes throughout the city, day and night, so riders can quickly move about the city without the extra costs.
It’s safer and less stressful.
Driving in populated urban areas can be stressful, from angry drivers and hawkeyed traffic authorities, to impossible to find parking spaces. Dollar vans allow commuters to travel without the hassle of urban driving and generally relax while en route to their destination. Riders can safely send texts, browse the internet, or simply stare out of the window as they wait for their designated stop. When they finally arrive, there’s no need to worry about getting their car stolen or broken into.
It’s better for the environment.
One of the primary things an individual can do to positively affect the environment is lowering their carbon footprint (or burning less fuel). The more urban commuters use dollar vans, the fewer cars on the road. The fewer cars on the road, the lower an entire city’s carbon footprint!
