Using En vez de instead of por?

Devin P.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

I’m assuming en vez de can’t be used in the same way as por because there is a sense of obligation on behalf of the subject when using por? Yo tomé el carro en vez del autobús. Using por here would be wrong. Yo hice el trabajo por él porque estaba enfermo. En vez de here, would be wrong, right?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Por vs Para in Spanish: Using por (not para) to express "on behalf of""
