    I’m not from the US either, and still I think Grabbing almost everyday is expensive. It’s near that your working and living arrangement means you don’t need a car much.

      Well, my wife only needs to go to work 3-4 times a week. She only takes grab in the morning.

      So it’s like $120 month for her to get to work. I probably add like $10 a month for grocery trips.

      If we bought a car, we’d have a loan of like $300, pay for gas, pay for insurance, and pay for parking. Parking where I live is $100, I’m not sure how much it would be where my wife works.

      So it’s genuinely much cheaper to just take grab. My wife can get a motor tricycle home.
