> Somehow the prices are still high enough that it's cheaper to buy a cheap used car and drive it instead. I find this claim to be incredibly dubious. More convenient? A practical necessity? Sure. Cheaper? Gonna need to see some receipts. Edit: since at least one person appears to be grumpy about my comment, here is an example of a large system with light rail: https://www.dart.org/fare/general-fares-and-overview/fares https://www.dart.org/fare/general-fares-and-overview/fares For less than $200/month you can ride however much you want, with reduced price options for local fares and other groups of riders like low income, etc. If you have a problem with my comment, please explain how you can but and operate a used car for less than that price when you factor in gas, tires, maintenance, insurance, etc. it’s just BS.
