Riding transit, especially as the price of gas continues to fluctuate, can save a person hundreds of dollars a year, when compared to the cost of gasoline, car insurance, maintenance and other expenses related to car ownership and use.  Those who ride transit are not only making the environmentally sound choice, but are also helping reduce our nationwide dependence on oil.
