I also have a roommate who works at the same place, so we carpool every once in awhile. The best part is that it's only 10-15 minutes each way, unless there's an accident. Public transportation is an option, but I don't think it's worth the extra time and it may even be more expensive. $.15/mile and 13 miles roundtrip, so $1.95 per day which is pretty good.

I'm glad to have a reliable car (at least now) that I don't have to think twice about, but I should've probably factored it into these figures. Truthfully, public transportation would be the best and worst part about living in the city, and I think about that whenever I start imagining myself living somewhere else. Sigh. Welcome to blogging! I'll go check out your site now. Valid point, Spending Smarts.

I agree though, about the convenience of a car, public transportation generally is more convenient working in a downtown area where parking is costly and transportation links better. By the way, I'm pretty new to blogging, but I've enjoyed reading your blog for a while now! $.10 a mile is pretty good, but, of course, the price of gas is just one partial cost of commuting by car.

One the plus sides of public transportation is that I don't have to worry about dealing with all of the crazy people out on the road, and I can sit back and read--something that I can't do while driving. The minus side of it is that it more than doubles my commute time. I don't want to calculate the cost of driving to and from work each day with the rising price of gas. It's too depressing.

No tolls, free parking. It does make it hard to take the bus when it really isn't that expensive to drive. I think I use about a half gallon a day, which is about $2.35 these days.
