# 11 benefits of choosing public transportation over a car

1. No tolls - hooray! 
2. Parking is included in the ticket, and you won't have to fuss with parking spaces and time running out.
3. Children under 6 years always travel for free, and you do not need to fold the stroller.
4. You can eat and drink whatever you want when you're going out.
5. With us, you can use your mobile phone as much as you want while driving, without risking a 10,450 kr fine.
6. You can leave it to our driver to get annoyed with other drivers.
7. On weekends, you can bring up to four children on your ticket for free.
8. You won't have to shovel snow and it's already heated inside.
9. No risk of getting a parking ticket.
10. No "hidden" costs such as insurance, EU inspection, gasoline, and tire changes
11. Good for the environment. One bus replaces 40 cars on the road, and a full metro can replace 600 cars.

You might consider leaving the car next time, and we can be your driver. Warmly welcome aboard!
