Public transportation can save you over $9,000 per year

February Transit Savings Report: "The annual savings is $9,052 for a person who switches their daily commute by car to taking public transportation, according to the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) February Transit Savings Report. Individuals who ride public transportation instead of driving can save, on average, more than $754 per month. "

Cars spend 95% of their time parked

The Washington Post: "Parking is a major component of our driving experience. A large amount of our driving time is spent looking for a free spot, and our cars are parked on average for a staggering 95 percent of their lifespans. Parking infrastructure is so pervasive that for every car in the United States, there are approximately three non-residential spots — amounting to 5,000 square miles, an area larger than Puerto Rico."
