Commuting Calculators

Just wanted to share a few car commuting "cost computers."

This one lets you plug in information to compare to bicycle commuting - which I do most days, except today, when I hauled a 30" TV into the office... Calories burned by riding and all car costs (except parking for some reason - easily enough added) are included:

The real overall costs associated with driving your car to work are more than gas+parking. Both of these calculators help you see depreciation and other costs.

This one shows the difference of using public transit - which here in Cleveland is $4 per round trip:
