I think he means his feelings are hurt that slugs don't pay cash. I think he means that SOV hybrid is OK, HOV regular car is not, but HOV bus or locomotive is OK. And, I think he means we all should buy his brand of car, a perpetual motion machine that violates the second law of thermodynamics (I know, that's redundant).

Using some rough calculations and the Joint Travel Regs:

If 30 mile commute, and 3 people per vehicle, and $.445 reimbursement per mile, then cost per person is $4.45.

Compare with Sponge's estimated toll cost of $38, or the cost of a bus ride of $3.80.

Toll roads are the solution. Pay the toll or get on the bus. Most will take the bus, and the cost is less than if slugs were paying their fair (fare) share.

Right. I see.

(Just BTW, it's not my estimate, it is the estimate of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.)

So, NoSUV, are you planning on paying the toll or riding the bus?
