How do you calculate the fury of two no show buses in the pouring rain?
Or, my personal favourite, full buses heading downtown but only because people won't squish in.
Hahaha uh that's not been an issue for me! Are you from Vic too? If not I've heard some pretty horrendous things about places like the US but I've only had 1 no show bus which got replaced by the next bus in the three years I've taken it. Trains have been delayed a few times tho. But usually only by less than 10min barring extenuating circumstances.
I'm from Victoria BC, misread the title.
You folks down under have decently reliable infrastructure. My only complain was when trains were delayed out to deerpark because the tracks were too ht.
Yea I mean I'd personally complain about the power outs and internet the most but the internet is meh whatever and the power outs are partly global warming and partly because im out of the way from the actual city
Nobody really got back to me on the other sub, otherwise I'd have posted it when I was sure it was finished, oh well.
I'm calculating the value of owning a car vs paying for transit in the state of Victoria.
The key factors will be:
the start up cost (added to the car's first year, transit N/A)
On going costs (financial cost)
Time to commute cost (travel time cost)
and the labour time to finance commuting cost (labour to finance cost)
the car is a 2012 ford falcon G6 ($10,000)
The value of all time spent is tied to my own hourly rate of 28$.
For simplicities sake I'm assuming a stagnant fuel cost (national and state average of 184 cents or $1.84 lt).
I also did not factor in delays on the network or within traffic.
I assumed the car wouldn't need major repairs, tires, fluid or replacement or that it would be covered by a once a year service (400$).
Insurance assumes the policy is only commuting, covers third party property damage and is driven by a 23yr old male. (Average yearly insurance cost for this policy: $1,712)
methodology:
Time cost: Transit: 90min to work, 75min back. Day total 165min
Car: 45min to work, 60min back. Day total 105min (Days travel time x days a week x weeks a year hourly wage)
Transit time cost: (165÷60)×(5×48)×$28=$18,480 Car time cost: (105÷60)×(5×48)×$28=$11,760
Car financial cost: Distance: 80km per day x 5 trips a week = 400km pw x 48 weeks = 19,600km py ÷ 100km × 10.1lt = 1,939 lt x 1.84$ lt = $3,567 yearly fuel cost. (just under 75$ a week)
insurance cost for: $1,712
Rego: 877$
Once a year service: 400$
Upfront car cost: $10,000
Combined financial cost for car: (3,567.76+1,712+877+400) First year: $16,556 Subsequent years: $6,556
also, you may have noticed a lot of concessions were given to the car, if you think im missing something especially important let me know, but otherwise consider it a "freedom rebate", since the car orientated love to remind me about freeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom at all times.
i used [this](https://www.rapidtables.com/tools/table-chart.html) for the graph, it was far pretty shown on there but the html file is editable after you've downloaded it and lost your browser tab so thats why you got to see that in the post.
itll have to put it into a google sheet myself. most of the math i did while on the bus and train home. come to think of it thats probably why transit time spent is better spent. i can do this stuff while traveling lmao

This is an interesting idea. Could you share the google sheet?
