Okay, don't get me started.

That $2.25 does not take into account the cost of road maintenance, health ramifications (which have costs), costs of injury and death on the roads, etc.

There is a movement, not too big, to make transit fare free because of its benefits to society. This way, the average fare would be less than a dollar. In my opinion, as important as cheap fares are frequency, reliability, convenience and a pedestrian street network that supports access to transit.

My rant for the day.
