Some people's life structure is suitable to do without various things. I'm kind of glad to live in an area with decent public transit. The cost of a car is ghastly, insurance, maintenance, gasoline, parking. A monthly adult bus pass costs less than some folks spend on gasoline per
week alone. With a large household we have to trim down expenses where we can.
We also buy books of bus tickets for those of us who don't use a monthly pass, which reduces the "per trip" fare by a good 50c per ride, and a transfer is time stamped and is good in any direction. That means if I had to take a short trip to just pick something up, I would only need to use one ticket. For a total cost of 90c each way.
well, this is about as

as one can get.... move along
