wait you paid 3 dollars for an hour of uber? How does that make sense? The minimum wage is way more than that.

  Maybe he's saying that he drove himself for $3 in gas (while conveniently ignoring all the other costs of car ownership, not to mention the massive externalities).

    But since the government subsidizes both the $3 ain't so bad

    It's reasonable that if GP needs and already has a car for other non-commuting purposes (shopping, road trips, etc.) the choice in their specific case is between paying for public transit and only paying for gas to cover the commute.

      I understand what you're saying; it's just not a reasonable way to perform a complete or useful cost analysis.

      Cost of insurance and wear & tear are direct costs of each trip outside gas, not including those (which is ~50% of the cost of each trip) is deceiving yourself.

    Yep, sorry forgot to mention its roughly $3 in gas / oil and maybe $3 in depreciation of the vehicle?
