Gas prices are like the weather - everyone complains, but no one actually does anything about it... until now.

Stop talking, start riding

Put your money where your mouth is. Metro's low fares are a great way to fight back against the high cost of gas.

• Most Metro fares are cheaper than a gallon of gas, and a ride on Metro can take you a lot further.
• According to AAA, it can cost more than $300 a month to drive to work.* That's three times more than a Metro pass.
• Using these same figures, that means it can cost up to $3,600 a year to drive to work. Yet the most it can cost you to ride Metro is $2,100 a year (12 months x Metro's most expensive monthly pass $175.) That's an annual savings of $1,500. What could you do with an extra $1,500?

*Calculation based on 20 mile daily round trip in a car getting 25 mpg for 22 days a month with gas at $3.50/gallon. This does not include parking.

Save more than money

Riding the bus is also a great way to reduce emissions. In fact, one person riding the bus just one day instead of driving reduces CO² emissions 20 pounds. That same person riding the bus two days a week reduces greenhouse emissions by more than 1,500 pounds.
