No Two Ways About It Students prefer driving to riding the bus Getting to and from school, or anywhere else for that matter, might have been one of the biggest problems you had as a student. Although driving was the easiest and most popular method of trans- portation not everyone owned a car or could afford to drive one Many students found the econom ics of owning a car very rough to handle with the soaring price of gasoline and materials for the car s upkeep High insurance costs also hampered many students who drove to school For those students not fortunate enough to own their own car there were some occasions on which they were allowed to bring the fam ily car. This was much cheaper for the student since the parents paid for the gas and upkeep. On the other hand, some students pre- ferred leaving the driving in the hands of a friend.
