Well, for a bus pass it’s a very reasonable $30/mo. The train is $1 for a trip. Gets me downtown in 30 minutes as opposed to 45 on the bus. All in all, mass transit is the best way to get around if you’re trying to make every penny count. That money I don’t spend on gas or insurance I can devote to beer.
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Who am I to argue with one of our founding fathers?
30 dollars nets me a tank of gas that allows me to drive about 500 miles or so.
I live about 10 miles from Downtown Austin, so do the math. :)
Unless I travel downtown every day - the car is cheaper.
