Yep - it's far cheaper for me to drive my Prius 40 km to work and back every day than it is to take the bus. I can't make it work financially. As much fun as it would be to bus/bike there, which I do want to do.
(40 km @ 4.5 L/100 km = 1.8 litres of fuel. Price = ~$1.20 (high side) = $2.16 to drive to work and back. Before someone says "but insurance and taxes and...!", car would be sitting in my driveway and I'd still be paying that anyway so it's a wash. And my commute goes from 20 minutes to over 60, so I've lost 80 minutes a day that I could be working extra, making (a lot) more money, which actually eclipses the above savings/expenditures by an order of magnitude of so.)
