00:02Working three jobs means Maddy Linot is always on the move.
00:06The part-time nurse, Pilates instructor and florist is factoring rising petrol costs into
00:12her tightening budget.
00:14Having to pay like $120 to fill up a tank is like something's got to give.
00:19She's looking at buying a bike as a cheaper way to commute.
00:23The cost of groceries is increasing, the cost of fuel is increasing, like we're not getting
00:26paid anymore, so I don't know what's the compromise in our lifestyle.
00:32But Maddy isn't alone in seeking alternate options.
00:36According to the transport department, a very slight decrease in traffic was recorded across
00:41some key roads over the last week.
00:44It adds, traffic commonly varies day to day and can be influenced by multiple factors.
00:50Weekday usage across the Adelaide Metro's bus, train and tram network increased by about
00:563% in the third week of March, compared to the same time last year.
01:01That's roughly 7,300 extra trips per weekday.
01:05At food charity OzHarvest, which delivers about 60,000 meals every week, rising costs means
01:12less money to support those in need.
01:14While we have a fabulous relationship with BP, that can't last forever.
01:20And as those costs rise, it means there's less money to go about for us to deliver the meals.
01:25Forcing families to make difficult decisions.
01:28Do we buy food for our kids?
01:31You know, can we get petrol in the car to get them to school?
01:34Do we pay our energy bill?
01:36Driving uncertainty even further.
