Is Public Transport Worth it?

I take the bus to work with Connor(my boy) everyday the reason that I do it is because I work for a company that has a policy to pay for all public transport. Having only recently e bother getting my restricted licence I though it would be fun to see how much it costs and how long it takes to get to work with each option, with that in mind I decided to drive to work for all of last week. Here are the details:

	Bus	Car
Cost per day ($ NZ)	$ 4.00	$ 3.20
Time per day(h:mm)	1:20	0:40

People wonder why public transport is not use as much as it could be if you look above you will see that not only does it cost more but it takes longer, I will revisit this in a few months and see if increased gas prices make public transport look better.
