>>>if the gas prices reach the $3/gal mark, its still cheaper for me to drive. I commute eleven miles a day (22 round trip) and if I were to use NJT's bus services (rail is not an option), it would cost me $1.70 each way, for a total of $3.40 a day.<<<
Unless you get your cars, and all maintenance, insurance, etc. for free it costs a lot more to drive than gasoline alone. At 40 cents per mile, a rather low cost car for driving, your true cost for the 22 miles is $8.80, more than double the cost of the bus.
