    I just moved closer to work and my commute dropped from 35-60 minutes (dependent upon traffic...and sometimes far worse) to about 8 minutes.

    about 25-30 and thats no traffic from Manvel (288 South/Highway 6) to Harwin/Beltway 8

    $2/day for tolls is a b****, but beats being late and wasting gas, on the way home, I just take the feeder.

    Used to be a 7 min drive.. then I quit. Driving to work was just too much. 7 minutes was too long and started to take a toll on me.

    From UH area to Jersey Village area, it is about 40 minutes in the morning and a hour after work if I get off at 5. Traffic sucks.

    I forgot about the West Little York Park-and-Ride:

    Bus leaves at 7:10am
    Bus arrives at Greenway at 7:55am

    No savings on time, plus its $5 round trip. The only thing it saves is wear and tear on my SUV, mileage on my SUV, and stress.

    So the cost/benefit for me at least is about 50/50.
