About $7k in mass transit costs for me.
And then they wonder why I said "none" to "how many days a week will you be in?"
Where do you live that transit costs you that much? That's astonishingly high.
Tristate area, commute to NYC, only option is a private carrier. Prices change based on the cost of fuel mostly, varies from $500-700/mo.
And yes, it's absurd.
Edit: I should add that's the discounted monthly option for 40 trips (so 20 days of commuting). If I pay each day, it's $100/day, which is what I do now since I don't commute in enough anymore to be worth any of the discounted commuter options.
