Driving Lessons Manchester v Public Transport

Taking driving lessons enables you to pass your driving test and get your very own mode of transport to travel where ever you want, whenever you want! If you don’t do this your only other option is public transport to do your daily travelling. The question is to take driving lessons, and learn how to drive or take public transport?

Public transport can be great for travelling from city centre to city centre but doesn’t give you the same flexibility as driving your own vehicle does. There are fixed times you must travel and this may be inconvenient for you, or you may even have to take two modes of transport to get from one city to the next and then into the suburbs. When you take driving lessons Manchester and learn how to drive you can travel from your own home to your destination without having to walk to train and bus stations. You can set off at anytime which is suitable for you and you’re no longer restricted by transport timetables.

People who have learnt how to drive say they could no longer go without a licence as travelling is so much easier with one. Along with the flexibility, as mentioned above, you also have your own independence to travel places where public transport may not be able to take you. Day trips become a lot easier to do and cheaper as you can take the whole family travelling just for the cost of fuel. Having at least one person who can drive in a family is essential as a part of modern day life and public transport just doesn't seem to give you the same independence.

Nevertheless trains and buses do have their advantages, firstly you don’t need a licence to travel. Anyone can travel on public transport and at times it can be easier than driving. If you have a routine when using public transport it can work well as there's no traffic allowing faster travel and you can plan your journey to get to where you want to be on time.

However this routine can be very easily thrown with delays or if you are late just by one minute. This wouldn’t matter if you could drive as you would just set off 1 minute later, but you may have to wait another half an hour for the next bus or train to come along.

The argument that public transport is cheaper than driving can be debated as taking driving lessons in Manchester is expensive, but it’s a cost that only has to be paid once whereas with public transport you must pay every time you use it. Taking driving lessons can be seen as an investment and driving becomes cheaper as the years go on.

Most people in this day and age now take driving lessons and pass their driving test as the modern world demands they do. But public transport can be great for certain journeys and is still used by many that also have driving licences.
