Just to give folks an idea how much I spend on transportation annually since we don't have a car: Under $2,600.00CAN.

This excludes any airfare. (Of course I have flown (twice) this year....for job interviews but recruiting employer paid the bill.) Does includes bus trips, several ocean ferry rides for vacation trips this year. Of course, includes cost of my local commuter train and bus passes for work commuting PLUS bike shop work on bike tire flats and mechanical adjustments. smile

We haven't rented a car this year for a vacation yet . Last year we did rent a car for about 3 days for all of 2007 and only for a vacation trip.
