lately i’ve been thinking about the relative financing of driving my car to work versus taking transit.
mostly, it’s because of michael — he bought a house recently, and although he’s near the metra line that runs to work, he says it costs him less to pay for the gas to drive to work (since he’s already got the car) than it does for the metra pass. fair enough. so, i wondered if it would actually cost me less to drive than to stick with the marvellous, fabulous, always on-time, prompt, and mechanically sound, driven by a knowledgable professional #2.
