Save Money By Taking Public Transportation
OK, I get that this not earth shattering…Gas is outrageous right now! Still, I am surprised at how many people still don’t take public transportation. I took a trip to Chicago this weekend and needed to get from Midway Aiport to downtown Chi-Town. Rather then either renting a car or taking a taxi cab I decided to fork over $2 and take the CTA (train system). What an awesome ride! I did have to change trains once which was a little confusing but, in the end, I was dropped off only 2 blocks from my hotel. A cab ride is about $50 one way and renting a car would be about the same for each day. The hotel charges another $26 per day to park. Me, I spent only $2 to get all the way downtown and pocketed the rest!
This site is about saving money but whenever I can combine saving money with saving the envirornment I consider myself double thrifty. I am a big believer in public transportation and I hope that you will give it a try as well.
