[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 547296, member: 14557"] Oh, we can drive cars too, it's just not as convenient always, and it is expensive. Gas is little over 8 dollars per gallon currently so little bit over 100 dollars a month for free use of all public transit in whole metropolitan area for an adult and around 50 dollars per (bigger) kid is very tempting offer, (kids under seven go free.) Though right now only easy child has a monthly ticket in our family. Me and husband buy daily tickets (around 10 dollars) or one trip tickets (around 5 dollars) when needed. Parking can also be expensive and difficult to find, if you are not handicapped. We have a lot of handicap parking places and they are free, but of course you need a handicap permission for those. Those who have a handicap that makes it impossible to drive or who don't have driving licence get certain amount of free (handicap) taxi drives a month. And for example people in wheelchairs are able to use subway easily. Busses are more tricky. Still, there are not too many people driving bikes during winter, snow and temperature between 30 F and -20 F for four months a year kind of does that... [/QUOTE]
