114. Avoid Taxis for Travel
What you need: Public transportation
Est. Cost: $5-$15*
Taxis may be convenient, but they are not always the most cost-effective. If you are on a tight budget, it is best to use public transportation over taxis. You may have to deal with a bit more inconvenience, but the savings are worth it.
Local bus services and elaborate metro stations cost typically less than one-quarter of the cost of a taxi. Taxi transportation may seem affordable, but the overall cost can be so high that it will ruin your travel budget.
