Ten Reasons I Don't Need a Car

1. A subway, a bus, a subway and a bus is available to get to work. The last bus I could skip and walk. Probably take me over an hour but then that is time to read.

2. I have been living in multiple bubbles - my car, my church, my school and my home. Taking the TTC is going to allow me to get back in touch with the real world.

3. The environment. I'm adding it because it is politically correct - I love driving and would be lying if I suggested I would give my car up willingly because its the right thing!

4. Cliff is on shift work - I can either drive him in or pick him up and use the car when I really need it.

5. Exercise! I'll be getting tons more without the car. Also no ability to go to a drive through!

6. Some savings. I'm still not convinced of this - yes cars are expensive but I think I need to be without one to see the difference. When I quit smoking I can't say I suddenly saw more money - of course I saved money but it wasn't really noticeable.

I can only come up with 6!
