How Mass Transit Can Save On Commuter Costs
It can be very time consuming to drive your own personal vehicle to where you need or want to go. In rush hour, it seems like it takes forever to get to work. Even planning to drive to fun places such as to the mall or to concerts, can also feel like a death defying act. While sitting in traffic or moving as slow as a turtle, the fumes from the exhaust of all these vehicles bunched together, can literally make you physically sick and emotionally stressed.
If the smell is bad for you, just think of the damage it does to the environment. These toxic fumes have to go somewhere. The dust and dirt from the fumes go into our air, they land in our trees, they settle in our water and our food supplies.
The price that you pay at the pump for gasoline is very expensive. Wasting that precious gasoline, while sitting in traffic for minutes or hours at a time, can be very hard on anyone’s budget. It is also wasting another commodity, our precious time.
Mass transit commuter costs are cheap compared to what driving our own personal vehicles cost us. It is not just about saving money.
