      I remember paying $0.699/gal in the early 2000s. My fuel taxes are now $0.719/gal so I’ll definitely never see that price again. Taxes are high enough. Especially when there are no non-car options available.

        True cost of something should be included in the price

        Maybe more people will use the bus if prices go up. Also more money to fund those busses

          I live on the edge of a 2+mil population metro, there are no buses. I could drive four miles to a bus stop that goes nowhere useful for me.

            Maybe if gas was a more reasonable price people wouldn’t live so far from bus stops?
