Public transportation is poor choice for some

Have to go to Kobe today, so took the train to work. Walked for 35 minutes, rode for 50 minutes, and waited for trains for 35 minutes. Cost 600 yen, about six dollars. In cost effectiveness, public transportation comes in last. Next is a car, costing about $2.34 in gas round trip and less than one hour one way. Next would be a scooter with 67cents in gas and one hour. Bicycle is number one! No gas, one hour.
