Leaving work at 4:30 p.m. I'd get back to the originating bus stop at 6:25; hop in my car and drive 8 miles, to get home almost 14 hours after I left.
Oh - and the R/T bus fare is $3.50. The 16 miles would cost me around $2
So all told, I'd save $1.50, but spend 3 more hours of my day commuting.

This is the big problem with transit. If we all worked in the same spot and all got up at the same time it would work great.. unfortunately we are what we are.
I'd love to take transit but I can't. I'd love to commute by bicycle but I can't. What's my solution? We're looking at moving into the city and I'm going to change from my much loved (yeah right, but it ain't bad) construction job to a hated "Office Space" environment where I have to file TPS reports and figure out why Linux servers won't communicate with Windows clients.
Should be great right up until the revolution. All bets are off then.
