June 7, 2006 METRO’S
WEBSITE HELPS YOU CALCULATE COMMUTING COSTS CINCINNATI -- Sure, gas prices are high, but driving to work has lots of other costs like parking and the wear and tear on your vehicle. Do you know how much commuting really costs you? Thursday, June 8 is the American Public Transportation Association’s “Dump the Pump Day,” and Metro is making it easy for commuters to see just how much their commute really costs by answering a few easy questions on-line. To calculate your costs, you will need to know the average round-trip mileage of your commute, miles per gallon for your car, and your cost for monthly parking. The calculator will provide your monthly and yearly commuting costs. The Commuter Calculator can be accessed free on Metro’s homepage at www.go-metro.com. Metro offers many express commuter routes and 23 park & ride locations in the Greater Cincinnati area. Fares are as low as $1 one-way and unlimited-ride monthly passes begin at just $40. About half of Metro’s 22 million rides per year are work trips and about 20% of downtown commuters ride Metro. # # # |
