Is it cheaper to hire a car in USA or use public transport?

Question

I'm from Australia and I'm looking at travelling right around America in 2010 going to all the important places!

Answer 1

In southern california a monthly pass costs $64 and I have unlimited access to trains and buses. With gas being almost at $4 a gallon its a good deal to use public transport to commute to work. I only use a car if I need to stop and do errands and carry stuff around.

Answer 2

public transportation.

in new york its 2 dollars to take either the bus or subway (one way) and its actually a lot faster esp. because theres always traffic. taking a taxi/cab could be extremely expensive. possibly 50$ verses 2$....hmmmmmmm

Answer 3

It really depends on your destination.  Where are you trying to go?
