Gas prices rise along with commuter risership

Lately I've been putting off buying gas until my gas gauge is well over the red zone. You know why? Because gas is stupid expensive these days and I cringe everytime I have to buy more. Unfortunately, today I pushed my luck and ran out of gas. With only moments of juice left in the car, I managed to get it to a parking spot in time. I threw my hands up in the air, and grabbed the nearest bus.

"There's no doubt that the high gas prices are motivating people to change their travel behavior," said APTA president William W. Millar. "More and more people have decided that taking public transportation is the quickest way to beat the high gas prices."says the American Public Transportation Association.

Many Belltowners work in the area and have the luxury of walking to work, but there are plenty of us that commute. Some of us are forced to fill our gas tanks up to 2 times a week. It costs the average person 50 bucks to fill their tank, so when you add things up, driving is becoming quite the expense these days!

Save yourself a buck and the Earth at the same time. Go here to check out Belltown bus routes.
