Research shows that using the car less has health benefits for most people. It's easy to meet the target number of minutes of exercise per week if you commute by bus or train or if you cycle by regular bike, e-bike, or high-speed e-bike. Being able to meet your daily exercise requirements just by commuting is a great reason to consider alternatives to travelling by car! View our campaigns now!
A car costs between 21.7 and 30.8 euro cents per kilometre driven. That excludes the fixed costs of cars that according to the Nibud (National Institute for Family Finance Information, only available in Dutch) amount to at least €154.50 per month for even the smallest cars. On top of that comes the costs for petrol, damage, maintenance, and parking costs.
If you opt to switch entirely to the bicycle, you can save up to €300 per month. Using public transport instead of your car can also save you a significant amount.
Also with public transport you can often be a lot cheaper, compare the costs for a subscription with that of your car.
We all want to live in a safe, healthy environment with clean air to breathe. Everyone can do their part to make this reality. If we would all opt for the bicycle or public transport instead of the car every once in a while, our environment would benefit. Enter now! Any contributions you make for the environment serve as an example to others.
