I live close enough that it takes similar amounts of time to bus or drive, and I appreciate that riding the bus has saved us from needing a second vehicle. But the last couple of years the cost to ride the bus has been high enough to make me want to walk/run to work (2014-15), or bike through the winter (2015-16). Most years I ride my bike from at least the beginning of April until sometime in November.
It's no exaggeration to say that I could buy a new bike each year and let it get destroyed by the winter salt for less money than it would cost to ride the bus. It just seems wasteful to do that.
