So, driving a car sixty miles a day costs about 78-hundred dollars a year. Now if you switch to the train, well, you might save as much as six grand, but what if there's no train?

Tuesday at nine, we'll hear about the idea, its prospects for success, and its prospects of getting you to work on time.
