While transportation costs ultimately affects our personal finances and we can't avoid it, there are tips that are related to planning and how we optimize tasks that individuals can take to reduce transportation costs. Some of these hacks are:
Combining errands: if you have several errands to run, you can consider running them all within one trip than having to get home after one errand and step out for another errand. Group shopping falls into this. People in a neighborhood can contribute to send one person for grocery shopping. The transport cost is reduced drastically because it is spread round.
Adjust your schedule so you mostly move during off peak hours: Cost of transportation are significantly lowered in some locations during off peak hours. You can schedule yourself to go out and meet your different endeavours during those off peak.
