Oddly enough, for my prior work usage, driving a private car was CHEAPER than
taking the bus to work every day. I'm including all costs - including the purchase
price of the auto, repair costs, and gas. A bus pass runs about $20 a week, whilst
the drive was very short (and the car very cheap). This didn't apply to me, because
work paid for the bus pass, but it's shocking to think that one person driving a
(not terribly efficient) car could get by more cheaply than taking public transit.

Something seems very wrong.

With a flat bus fee, a person like you, who was only going a short distance, was subsidizing all the people who were utilizing the bus to travel much farther. With that particular pricing scheme and those particular circumstances the outcome seems about right.
