Just realized my old commute cost me $200 a month in gas and a lot of stress. | Climate Action

I used to drive my truck 20 miles each way to the office in Denver, rain or shine. After seeing a report on local air quality last fall, I switched to taking the light rail and biking the last mile. Has anyone else made a big switch like that and actually stuck with it?

My old commute was basically a second job that paid in road rage. Good on you for making the switch.

People are figuring out that fast and cheap usually ain't the same thing.

Remember when I thought public transit was just for people who couldn't afford a car? My old beater finally died, and I had to take the bus for a month while I saved up. I was shocked at how much reading I got done, and my wallet felt way heavier without that weekly gas station stop. Totally changed my view on the whole thing.
