Frugal Tip: Start Young Using Public Transit

With back-to-school time starting and summer coming to a close, thoughts turn to school books and pencils and all the other expenses associated with school.  But one that many often don’t give too much consideration to is the method of getting to school.  Sending your child on the bus can not only save you time in transport, but also save you money for the gas it would take to go back and forth.  And, you develop a good habit of seeking out public transit from the very start.

Maybe someday your child will take the subway or bus to work instead of driving, just because of all the fond bus memories.  :) I know my own little one loves the bus even more than school itself.

    Excellent idea! I teach in Boston and am amazed at how many of my students rarely or never take public transportation, even though there are subways and buses everywhere. They, in turn, are always amazed when I tell them that I take the T to work every day and don’t even own a car.
