High cost of motoring

My friend told me that the cost of motoring has shot up significantly.

1. It now cost more than $100 to fill up a petrol tank.
2. ERP charges have increased
3. Parking charges are very expensive.

I advised him to use public transport, i.e. MRT and buses and to carry a public transport guide (available for $6 from a bookstore). It is convenient and cheaper and avoid the stress of driving along congested roads.

He agreed to consider my suggestion.
