British cities are changing how people move and work. Transport is now in the middle of this change. Public transport is still important, but private transport assets are getting more attention now. Taxis, before seen only as service cars, are now being looked at as investment tools. This change is happening slowly, but clearly. Population density is going up.

It’s about being honest with yourself about how you really use a car and choosing something that fits your actual routine, not the rare moments or the imagined scenarios. And the best part is that…

It’s that time of year again. The UK submerges into darkness by 16:00 (sometimes earlier on a grey, rainy day), the temperature is consistently below 5°C, and the Met Office is dishing out predictions of ‘the worst snow the UK has ever seen to fall in December.’ The concept of the sun becomes almost an illusion, except for those beautiful yet rare sunny winter days.
