What are good ideas for saving money on commuting?

I have to drive about 30 miles each way to get to work. When I get near my building I have to pay five dollars a day to park. I walk five blocks to my building. There are no trains, buses or subways that run between my house and my work.

You don't HAVE to do this, you have chosen to do this... it's a free country and your labor can not be conscripted. If the situation seems untenable all you have to do is to change the situation. I have some trouble believing that in a community that the closest parking is 5 blocks away and the density is such that you pay $5 for it there is no public transport.
Reply:Ask around at work to see if anyone lives in the same direction as you, and if some does try car sharing - one week you drive and the other is a passenger and the other week they drive and you are a passenger.





Whoever is the passenger gives the driver some money to help with that week's fuel and parking.
Reply:Find a carpool buddy. Post on your company bulletin board and see if anyone is coming from your area.





Or you could find another place to park, a little further away from your work, and then take the bus to your workplace.





Or you could just move closer.
Reply:Get a 250cc scooter. 85mph, 75mpg, you can probably park closer for free.


What's the point in hauling 2 tonnes of steel 60 miles a day just to get about 150lbs of flesh and bone to work?
Reply:Let the engine die everytime you are at lights etc. Or try to find someone to share rides with...put a notice up in work....campaign for a bus!
