For my 50 mile a day round trip commute from Durham to Raleigh, my Van pool bill for the entire month of September came to $61.10. And I’ll get a price drop in October as more people have signed up. Included in this cost are van repairs and maintenance, roadside replacement if it should break down, and emergency ride home if I need to leave early. The best part is except for the 2 days when I will be the driver, someone else will be driving while I either sleep, read, or get to know these nice folks. The downside is I have to watch the clock a little closer and I have to walk 2 blocks in the morning and 3 blocks in the afternoon. Thanks to all the new cars on the road I can breath the air and enjoy that part too.
