I sold my car in May and have been using mass transit ever since (and no, not because I’m facing foreclosure, but because I hated driving). I love it!
I’m saving approximately $300 per month, between gas, insurance, parking and maintenance, not to mention car payments if my car hadn’t already been paid off.
It started off as an experiment, I didn’t sell my car right away. But once I found out how versatile and useful our bus and trolley system is, I have been able to get to anywhere I need to go in a reasonable amount of time.
I would encourage anyone who lives within walking distance of a bus stop or trolley station to give it a try. On weekdays, most buses and trolleys run every 15 minutes, the weekends are not quite as convenient, most buses run on 30 minute schedules then.
