> $150 less per month

Are you considering the $.50 average cost per mile from car travel -- gasoline, maintenance, insurance?

A car has a high fixed cost whether you use it or not. It only costs about $.25/mile in variable costs.

True, but not if you bought the car only to commute. Before my wife took a job requiring a car commute, we didn't own one. In our case nearly the entire cost can be allocated to the commute.

Yes. Commuter rail passes are just that overpriced. If I had to pay for parking the costs would be about the same.
