    The ticket is ~$13, and it’ll turn a 2 hours drive through a toll road (or more if there’s a traffic jam, inside the toll road, which happen surprisingly often) that cost ~$7 for the toll alone into 40 minutes journey. So yeah, it’s no brainer to use instead of cars if you don’t need to carry too much stuff.

      Unless you are moving or going to the middle of nowhere, you can easily fit half a week (if not a week) of essentials items in a backpack.

        Ah the average American who always moves to the middle of nowhere half way across the continent carrying heavy equipment daily.
