We encourage you to explore America and, to do so, we must tell you a little bit about transportation in your new home. In most rural and suburban areas, Americans rely upon personal automobiles to get around. The geographic diversity of many parts of the United States make mass transit awkward or inconvenient. If, however, you are working in an urban area properly served through mass transit, this is probably your best option for daily commuting to and from work. U.S. mass transit may consist of trains, subways, or buses.
Some workers organize car pools, in which workers take turns driving each other to work.
Still, in most areas, many people choose to drive their own automobiles to the office. While most new vehicles offer warranties on services, the buyer of a non-warranted used vehicle has virtually no recourse. They may be able to help you in getting the price down and spotting trouble signs in the vehicles you are contemplating. If you are purchasing a used vehicle, it is important to have a mechanic conduct a complete safety test on the vehicle before making the purchasing decision. You want to make sure that the car is operating soundly, has no major leaks or defects and will not require expensive repairs in the near future.
