FWIW, I take public transportation to work (most days). Today I'll ride the motorcycle because I have to get to places where I can get in 20 minutes on the bike and need up to an hour with public transport.
As I paid US$ 8.40 per gallon to fill my car last night (I dropped $117 into the tank - 14 gallons), the $67 per month I pay for a regional rail ticket is money well spent. I avoid the bottleneck leaving the Autobahn in the morning, and the other bottleneck entering the valley on the way home. I get home in about the same amount of time either way, and am much more relaxed when I take the train. Plus I get to watch people - a fun passtime.
