For me, I take the bus (the 108) but have to walk about three blocks to get to the bus stop. It takes me about 30 minutes from door to door which is very good obviously. I don't have to worry about gas, driving in bad weather and the wear and tear on my car.
Nevertheless, if it takes me 30 minutes to commute to work on the bus in my current situation and if I start driving from Mckenzie Towne and it is 25-35 minutes then that is only 5 more minutes from my current routine, perhaps no change on good days as well. Granted, if I were to drive in my current situation that would obviously increase.

Also, we currently each buy a bus pass which is about $170 dollars a month. If we find parking for $300-$350 that isn't too much more. Again, you would have to look at it incrementally. Then again, we would be spending more money on gas and such. Decisions...
