Does transportation affect the cost of living?

[Niyi Briggs]

Transportation costs can have a significant impact on the cost of living.

The cost of owning and maintaining a vehicle, as well as the cost of public transportation, can add up quickly. In areas with limited public transportation options or high traffic congestion, owning a car may be a necessity, increasing the cost of living.

On the other hand, in areas with good public transportation and low traffic, relying on public transportation can help keep transportation costs low and reduce the overall cost of living.

The price of fuel has increased a lot, current law prevents taxi from using the gaz as element for the circulation however if the taxi uses the fuel instead of the gaz then price of taxi will may be tripled by three or four times from the current price and then governement doesn't add new laws for such inconvenience.

Yes transportation can have a significant impact on the cost of living. Depending on where you live transportation can be one of the biggest expenses for a household. For example if you live in a rural area or in a city with limited public transportation you may need to own and maintain a car which can be costly.

We would always suffer when there's a rise In cost of transportation because even the things we buy will increase in price because of transportation.

A break in the chain of transportation will affect supply, and if not resolved soon, will lead to scarcity. That's what happened during covid 19.

Like in my country now prices of goods have gone totally up as a lot of things are tied to transportation and the higher the fare price the higher the price of things.

When once transportation goes up, there is a tendency that prices of other goods and commodities would go up. Transportation is major aspect of business. It affects prices of goods drastically.

I believe the price of food items in northern Nigeria where food is produced and southern Nigeria are not the same . That's because transportation cost is incorporated into the price of the final product.
