The SO finally called the bus company to inquire about commuter discounts for the bus between New Haven and Middletown.
(52 weeks/year) * (5 weekdays/week) / (12 months/year)
= 21.67 weekdays/month
=~ 22 weekdays/month
At the standard fare of $3.60 per way, that's $158.40/mo
There is a 10-ride discount fare of $32, or $3.20 per way, or $140.80 per month.
There is also a monthly pass for $122.
This decreases the estimated monthly car maintenance cost to $200 to $250 per month.
Sweet.
So there IS a commuter discount!
