The post Car, Bus, or Train: Which Should You Pick? appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>The advantages of driving a car around are quite clear. It takes you anywhere at any time, day or night. It helps you carry your luggage and if you’re stuck, it can be a place to crash.
Cars are the most expensive option and the most likely to get you stranded in the middle of nowhere. They are also the least environmental option.
For public transport, train travel is relatively comfortable. The seats are better, sometimes with a little table. For long trips, there are food cars or even sleeping cars for overnight travel.
The most significant problem with trains is their availability. Since they need a station and tracks, your destinations by train are more limited.
The biggest advantage of bus travel is the price. Busses are also available almost anywhere, even the most remote town has a bus going to it at least once a day.
Busses are great, mostly if you’re small and flexible. For most people, they are just not comfortable.

]]>If public transportation is not very good or slow, then that would be a good time to rent a car. Smaller cities where transport is infrequent or ends early in the day are good examples. Most vacations have limited time and there is nothing more frustrating than waiting 2 hours for a bus, or having to cancel plans because of bad transportation!
Another case in which a car is very useful is if your travel plans involve lots of nature and mobility. A trip with multiple hikes or visiting different ski resorts involves a lot of mobility, and an hour or two delay in the morning could possibly ruin a full day of outdoor activities.
Lastly, when traveling with multiple friends, many times it comes out cheaper to split a car rather than having 3 or 4 people paying for public transportation. Local car companies are usually cheaper, but Kayak and rentalcars.com are two easy websites to use for general prices in almost any city. It can be cheaper and easier, and a rental car is worth a quick check before the start of a trip!
