    I have also been cycling to work and OH walks most days so no transport costs. The buses are expensive at £2 for a single or £4 for a day pass. The weekly bus passes are not much cheaper either to make a saving.

    There is £1k capital and £2,300 per year transport costs.

    Might be worth a review, even if the conclusion to keep a car there may be ways to reduce the costs.

    Small zero/low tax on a low mileage lease may be an option.
