Yes it is.In my experience it is a pretty close thing when you talk about
travelling to work in a city. You obviously use more petrol in rush hour
than a similar journey at other times and the added cost of parking
means a bus pass would be cheaper. I feel the reason most people drive
rather than take public transport into the centre of Birmingham has
nothing to do with the relative prices, how many people even work it out?
