Hi,
We don't have a car. And we don't want to buy one since we recently purchased a house. And taking care of EMI is our priority.
It is difficult to get around the city especially with my son in auto. Auto people take advantage of our lack of mobility. They know that we can not go around asking too many autos. Therefore they ask for lots of money. I feel like asking my husband to go to maruti showroom and buy a car immediately.
please tell me how can i manage without a car?also let me know if there is no way i can manage without a car.

thanking you,
savarimehta

I am not sure if can ride a two wheeler but I feel these days two wheelers are best option. It would be a good idea to get yourself trained in riding a two wheeler.

Two wheelers are really helpful. Even after having a car its difficult for us to move around in the traffic. After facing problems in going to hospital a couple of time we got a Honda Activa and life is very easy now.

I think if you have a baby who is less than 18 months old you cannot make your child stand. So definitely you cannot move around alone with your son in a 2 wheeler. But yes you with your hubby can. If you are not so comfortable with a 2 wheeler you can opt for Nano.

Nano is definitely a good option. We do have one and I do find it really comfortable.

We have a bike for my hubby and a scooty for me. We are of the view that 2 wheelers are better option now when the petrol prices are going crazy.
