My office distance is 3Km, and the gym/market is also 3-4Km. currently I am paying ₹22-35 per ride to Rapido for commuting to the office/gym/market.
Office = 3 Days a week (6 Rides @ ₹150-180)
Gym = 4 Days a week = 8 Rides @ ₹200
Market = 2 Days a week= 4 Rides @ ₹80-100
Total distance covered in a month = 240-280 Km
So, in total I am paying ₹400-450 a week, and monthly ₹1600-1800
Should I buy a second hand Activa scooter or any rental bikes or Rapido is still a good option? Cons of Rapido is sometime in early morning or late night shift its not available and surge pricing of ₹40 sometimes.

Cycle is the best option
Won't recommend bikes due to the higher accident risk and Rapido-type services are more riskier due to the majority of drivers being in hurry for the next ride.
Either a Bicycle or a second-hand car.
165 km per month.
Expecting a 50km for per litre. 4 ltr petrol= 440
Yearly Petrol cost = 5280
Yearly Maintenance cost = 3k.
Total cost 8k.
Your total rapido cost = 19200
But you have to spend 50k -60k for a second hand scooter or bike .
Intrest rate on that 50k is 3500.
So you will still save arround 7-8k. So you will need arround 4-5 years to get that 50k back. Expecting the second hand bike will retain 20% of value.
Better small distance and low cost e-bike?
How about rapido pass, does it save some bucks?
Rapido drivers are very risky, phat jati hai bhai bike pe unke peeche, saale choti se jagah mai bhi ghus jaate hai .
Why don't you buy a electric scooty, it will costs u around 40-60k(not talking about ola/ather)
For 2-3km buy a bicycle 😇 you will fit and save money too 😇
An electric (hybrid) cycle would be best option.. u can pedal if u r in the mood to be fit or can accelerate if u r tired.. even u can use pedal assist for easily cycling for long distance..
It's good investment and u can keep it forever even wen u go for an actual full fledged two wheeler...
Since it doesn't need license to drive anyone can use it in ur family in the future and no maintenance cost or insurance cost as well..
30 to 40k budget with utility baskets or bag with it will be good...
Bro, I am getting an Activa (2015-2016) model (18000km-25000km used) for ₹25k-₹30k on OLX.
