I drive 22 miles each way to my job in Denver so I figured the bus would eat up way more of my day, but it turned out to be about 15 minutes slower door to door while I got to read on the way in. My gas spending dropped from $58 a week to $9, and that's before I even count the parking garage fee. For folks who have tried mixing transit into their commute, what finally made it stick versus the days you still just grab the keys?
