\"In these days of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints, you might wonder why those who are feeling environmentally friendly don’t opt to use public transport rather than their cars. The main trouble in Australia is that public transport is either not available, or not efficient at transporting people to a particular destination.



For instance it can take up to two hours longer to go somewhere by public transport than it would take by car. During this time you may have to change from bus to train and back several times. That may not matter if you are not laden down with a baby, pram and shopping, but for those who are - or for those who are not strong and steady on their legs - the car provides a safer, easier mode of transport.





Across city travel is bad enough, but what about those who travel from city to city? Public transport is woefully inadequate and inefficient at doing most long journeys. Many times there are several hours of waiting for the link trains or buses. This means your journey takes hours longer and you get to your destination in the wee hours, tired out. By comparison, going by car means you cut off hours of travel time and you have the convenience of a car to drive once you arrive.\"

Once you decide on buying a car, you’ll likely need to obtain a car loan to purchase it. There is a wealth of car loans options available for you, even those that offer incentives for purchasing a more environmentally friendly car.
