A frugal couple with four children have saved thousands by travelling everywhere on foot or bus, saying goodbye to their car.Ruth and Tom Cumming, both 38, got tired of the costs associated with keeping a car running.
The family now mostly walk or cycle to school and work, and for longer journeys they take the bus or train. ‘It was during lockdown and no one was going anywhere anyway so it was easy but we still haven’t missed it when things got back to normal.‘Is it walking, cycling, bus or tram? If those are not possible then we will hire a car. I’m not anti-car but cars are overused in cities.‘None of us are particularly sporty, but it is important that we bring exercise into daily life.‘You just naturally fit in exercise in the day. It builds into your daily life. It’s free entertainment to the kids.
Tom, a researcher at Birmingham University, uses his bicycle to get to work and pick up essentials from a local shop on his way home.
