Comparative Analysis Of Advantages Of Car And Motorcycle

With the cities crowded with cars, more and more people choose to travel by motorcycle. Both methods have their respective advantages and disadvantages. I will try to analyze each option to help you decide between those means of transport.

The advantages of the motorcycle

The most flexible mode of transport

Whoever drives a car and regularly has to face the traffic jams in and out of the cities. While the bikers who manage to escape from this traffic jam, thanks to the small size of their vehicles. This is the main advantage of a motorcycle (or scooter) due to its size that they can avoid standing in traffic jams. In some cities, this can mean great time savings. It is not a surprise that in some big and famous cities of the world, motorcycle taxis have appeared to take executives in a hurry to the airport.

Cheaper than a car

Another thing that has to be said, is that being a smaller vehicle, it is much more optimized for the trips of a single person. And since many people use the car with only the driver to go to work, the energy cost per person is much higher in the case of a car than for a motorcycle. The purchase of a motorcycle or scooter is much cheaper, and its insurance and maintenance are also usually cheaper.

Without separate driving license

If you have a driver's license for the car for some time, you have the right to take a motorcycle. In some territories, people are usually allotted the license to drive a car as well as a motor bike. Greater security than a few years agoIn many cities, safety has increased for motorists, thanks to the rise of public bike systems. These systems created bikeways especially for bikers. This has caused that the drivers of cars have learned to be much more careful with the bicycles/bikes, which indirectly has benefited the bikes as well.

Traditionally, one of the biggest risks for motorcyclists was the ignorance of motorists when it comes to acting on motorcycles. This is changing. Recently, I was surprised to see how in Paris the motorcycle and the scooter have become very common phenomena, almost like in cities with ancient tradition (like those in Italy).

The advantages of the car

Higher load capacity

If traveling alone in a car is unproductive, on the other hand the four-wheel vehicle is very comfortable when you need to go with the family, or if you need to move things. Its greater load capacity gives it a great advantage over two-wheeled vehicles.

Savings (when full)

If you do not travel alone, and for example choose to share your vehicle with other people to save some money. The car's greater load capacity allows optimizing the energy expenditure per person, dividing the total cost by the number of people traveling.

Greater security

The interior of the car is a great defense against external dangers. In addition, it has protection systems such as seat belts or airbags, which have significantly helped to reduce the consequences of accidents.

Greater comfort

In case of bad weather, the comfort of the car is clearly an advantage. You do not suffer from the rain or the cold. In addition, passengers sit comfortably, and can even sleep or engage in any recreational activity.
