Saving Money

I've compiled another chart to track the money I save each month by not taking public transport. Here in Toronto it costs $5.50 CAD round trip each day to take the bus or train - buying a metro pass doesn't save me anything since I would have to use it every work day plus the occasional weekend to make it worthwhile. I'll start another post (soon) to list all of the costs involved in bike ownership to give everyone a real world idea of the total savings.

Key

Blue bar represents the potential savings if I avoid using public transport 100% of the available commuting days

Red bar represents the actual savings based on my success rate for the given month (see My Commuting Record 2010)
