When you want to hit remote working, you can make anything into a stick
- ryandrake 2y agoIs what cases is hiring an expensive taxi to get to work and back every day cheaper than the all-in cost of owning, fueling, maintaining and insuring your own car?
- sokoloff 2y agoI don’t know, but anecdotally, I took a bunch of Uber Pool rides when I was on a business trip with people who were clearly using it to commute to or from their job. Some of them were fairly long rides as well (downtown San Diego to Poway was the most common where I’d go with someone commuting). Maybe parking is expensive/impractical?

- bluefirebrand 2y agoHonestly, in the cases where you have to pay for a parking spot near your work That is very expensive in most big cities, so if your workplace doesn't have dedicated parking and they don't comp your parking spot, you wind up spending thousands per year on parking On top of the other car stuff, it becomes prohibitive
- recursivecaveat 2y agoI plugged a used 2022 Camry w/ a short commute in CA into AAA's tool: they estimate $850 TCO per month. So at say $18 an uber in SF, you can make ~24 round trips to the office a month. That assumes you can park the Camry for free I think. On the other hand if you need a car to get groceries and stuff, the math starts to tip dramatically. Also assumes you value your time waiting for an Uber at $0 I suppose.
