I know, I drive into downtown L.A. 1-2x’s a week and I’ve taken the Metrolink a couple times. Even though the company I work for reimburses for mileage ($0.51/mile) I’m thinking about using the Metro more often when it fits my time schedule. For a 200 mile round trip drive I get back $102 then subtract my 25 mpg (8x$4=$32) and I end up with $70. Of course there’s the wear and tear on my car so if I make 8 LA trips/mo then thats $560/mo = $6720/yr. enough to pay for tires, brakes, car payments, oil changes and have some left over.
