Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

I am about 1 hour drive from NYC and the bus from here costs $620 per month if you buy in bulk. Otherwise, it's a $40 round trip. There's also a trains and ferry, and those are even more expensive than the bus. $500 in gas is cheaper than working in the city.

Wow that is… insane. I had no idea transit costs were so high in NY.
