Public transportation options like buses and trains generally offer affordable fares. On the other hand, owning and operating a personal vehicle is among the most expensive options due to the cost of purchasing, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and even taxes. Additionally, air travel, especially for long distances or premium classes, can be costly considering ticket prices, airport taxes, baggage fees, and several other expenses. That's my answer.
