I meant to add - we live pretty close to the blue line and have considered taking the train for a trip to the zoo. But even though our kid is free, it would be $14.40 for my wife and I. Make that $19.30 once our kid turns 6.
25km round trip driving (free parking included in our pass) is gonna be like 3 litres of fuel in our minivan; so $5.25 (@$1.75/L) and another $1.25 ($.05/km maintenance) and it'll only be $6.50. Pretty easy to cut that cost in half with a more efficient vehicle.
