Save Money By Taking Public Transportation

May 10th, 2008 | Posted in Save Money

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.
