I had a three monthly ticket at $308 (Now $320 since the fare rise).
Plus the bus fare $11.20 per week for me and $17.60 for my wife equals
$16.76 per day. Plus it takes 1 hr 30min each way by public transport
rather than 1hr 15min in the morning and under an hour at night. I have
always been an advocate of public transport but I can't fight the
efficiency of car travel in some circumstances.
