His work pays for it and he loves it. I never did it (I use to work about a 5-10 minute busride from Union Station) because I would have to take the Metrolink, which is like $8 a day. So unless gas jumped up to $8 a gallon, it wasn't worth it from me (and up until about two years ago, I had a car payment, so it made even less sense). If they made a subway that went from Burbank to UCLA, I would be all over that. That's the only flaw in L.A.'s mass transit, there's a couple of routes that have no solution yet. I've taken the Van Nuys flyaway several times and it rocks. Unless it's rush hour on the 405. Then it's not so great. I have a friend that rides the train from Fontana into Union Station everyday.

To fill my tank, I spend around $40 every 2 weeks (That's if I don't go anywhere far - 5 to 8 mile radius: work, grocery, mall, home, etc).

Just to show me, God must have decided to make it a bad traffic day, because it was a real pain in the ass to get to work. Despite my best laid plans, I ended up not taking the train.
