Once, while travelling on the subway, a travelling couple asked me the direction of a mall and the station. I advised them to go to another mall, as it is near another station. But they told me that they alreadyd booked the theatre tickets at that mall. When I asked why they chose that mall (as it was a few kilometres away from the station), their reply was that mall was closest to their location place, whereas to reach other malls one would have to go further via the metro.

Then I told them about the trip. The cost of going to another mall by metro was not much, but the cost of going to the nearest mall by auto was high.

If you're planning to visit nearby places, add the full round-trip cost, not just one-way. If you have to take an auto or cab other than the metro, then add its cost as well and follow the budget.

There is no way I would let this kind of logic decide where I chose to be entertained. That time is too valuable to me and the cost is not a factor.

Yes I have experienced a thing like this before where I had to pay more as I didn't know my direction on time.So it is good to always know your location

[nela13]

If I go to a new place for me, I often check online where our hotel is and what is nearby, the distances to the places we want to visit and the hours of operation. This makes it easier to plan your holidays and you end up saving some money on unnecessary trips.

Finding out about the location before travelling is one of the things that are to be put in place before travelling to a new location,some examples of things to consider are weather ,economy

[Inem]

It is important to understand the location and routes before embarking on a trip and journey. Going back and forth would cost you money.

[Nsikan]

Before I go out, I make so much enquiries on how my journey to my destination would be. It saves money when you have a fair knowledge of your movement.

[Inem]

I don't move out of my base if I don't research both online and offline about the routes and the nature of the trip, he has helped me a lot.

[eldavis]

This is why before going out to places i am new to, maybe a new town or city, i always try my best to find out all i need to find out about the place and how much i would have to spend.

[Inem]

Use Google maps and also ask people. Unless you might end up spending more than you should on transportation.

[astutimeliana723]

Before going to a new place, I always check the route via Google Maps, so I don't get lost easily. Because I'm the type of person who has to rely on Google Maps when I have to travel to a new place.

[augusta]

Yes it will help you save money when you can easily locate where you are going to than taking a longer route that might cost more money

[Nsikan]

The moment you are lost enroute a particular place, you would have to spend money to find your way to get to destination or return back.

[augusta]

For me one should do their findings well before stepping out, this will help you save money from taking a longer route

[Semi]

I make sure I double check and make calls to contacts who are conversant with that area for directions before stepping out.

[kennysplash]

This will save you transport money and time. You won't be walking around aimlessly trying to find your way.

[nuella]

If I am going to a place for the first time, I stop at regular intervals to ask for directions. It saves money than deviating from the right direction and trying to find your way back.

I will not go to a location if I have not gone to it yet.It is very dangerous, what if there are bad elements like snatchers?

This is where the idea of knowing the location before stepping out comes in. it will help you a whole lot if you study the environment first

[Isaac]

It is very important to understand the location especially if you are gradually getting involved in establishing a business there.
