Unless the weather is bad, usually it costs me nothing since I'm lucky enough to be able to walk. In a month with inclement days, about $15 for subway fare. $540 a month is insane--unless you are pulling in the big bucks.

Many jobs will have a transitchek type scheme. You are paying with pre-tax diollars. So that $240 railroad pass is really only costing you $160 approx.

I know people who live really far away....as far as poconos or very south of NJ. cheaper housing or larger houses/land is a popular answer.
