All the comments saying "50 cents seems too high" really nails home the point about how the real price of car driving isn't apparent to people.

Look, if you take the CHEAPEST operating cost from the AAA report (and that's JUST gas/maintenance/tires) and use that along with the bogus $10 parking number you still get a number that's competitive with Metro costs.

As to the "driving is more comfortable" argument: to each his or her own, but I can't say that I think sitting in traffic in a car is more pleasant than having someone drive for you while you read a book or take a nap.
