Stats on how much Americans pay for essentials
Some of these really make you think:
79.4 -- percentage of Americans who reported that a single-passenger vehicle was their principal means of getting to work in 2003
4.4 -- percentage of Americans who reported that public transportation was their principal means of getting to work in 2003
$8,759 -- average annual cost of owning and operating a midsize car in the U.S. in 2004 (assuming 15,000 miles driven per year)
$590 -- estimated annual cost of riding public transit (assuming a base fare of $1.25 per ride)
