Life has enough stressors. However, having to worry about a big budget purchase, like finding a good mode of transportation, doesn’t have to be daunting.
If you’re trying to avoid LA traffic, or you simply don’t have a car, there’s a few affordable options you can choose from to get yourself around the city.
Used Car
While a brand new car might be tempting, opting for a used car can be extremely beneficial to both you and your wallet. Used cars are cheaper than new cars. Not only that, you’ll also be able to avoid a variety of fees that you would otherwise receive at a dealership for a new car. Whether you’re looking for a 1971 Bronco or a 1979 Mustang, there will be a much wider selection to choose from as well. If you want a quick find or need help researching, feel free to reach out!
LA’s Metro Bike Share
Cruising around the city on two wheels instead of four is one of the best ways to experience California’s beautiful weather year-round. Los Angeles’ Metro Bike Share program can help you get from A to B for an affordable price and with the added benefit of not having to pay for gas. You can choose between a Flex Pass that’s $40/year or a monthly pass for $20.
Motorcycle/Scooter
If you want more speed than a regular bike, a motorcycle or Vespa could be a good fit for you. Both vehicles are huge money savers when it comes to gas. Motorcycles can range anywhere from 45-85 mpg and scooters can average up to 135 mpg. If you have a longer commute via highways, we recommend looking into a motorcycle. Scooters have certain limitations on where you can drive them. However, scooters are perfect for city commutes!
