Fuel costs changing how we travel

Rising fuel prices are changing how we travel.

A new Marketagent survey shows nearly two-thirds of drivers are feeling the financial strain, with petrol prices rising to around CHF 1.89 a litre and diesel topping CHF 2.14.

We’re switching to public transport, walking, or cycling more often to save money. 

Experts say low-income households are being hit hardest, and growing numbers of drivers are now considering electric cars as fuel prices continue to climb, according to Autoscout. 

Even the traditional Sunday family excursion is being curtailed.

The survey suggests we believe fuel prices are not going to fall anytime soon - and the switch could be permanent, says Marketagent.
