: Ironically, it's much cheaper for me to pay for 
: parking during the year and just drive to school.

<honest_question>
It is?  Where do you live, and what car do you drive?  I thought parking
was about $200/year on campus...  and I read the actual cost to operate a
car (including gas, oil, routine maintenance, and depreciation in value)
is 30 cents per mile, plus the cost of insurance...  whereas MARTA is $45
a month for unlimited rides.  Figure in all that and it's still cheaper
to drive?  I will be the first to admit that waiting for buses and
trains takes a long time, and since MARTA doesn't always give you "door to
door" service you have to walk a ways sometimes..  cars have the advantage
there.  But going with those figures is it actually more expensive to take
MARTA back and forth?
