Ooo, nice. Here in Austin, TX, a 31-day pass for the commuter rail/express bus system is $64. Definitely cheaper than paying for gas, tolls, and parking every day downtown, but I'm certainly jealous of $60/year! (For anyone interested, a "regular" bus pass that does not include the train or express busses is $30 for 31 days.) I'm lucky because I'm a student at our community college and ride for free

I *think* that you can get a liability insurance policy as a non-car owner. It's worth calling around to a few agents to ask. Don't rule out independent agents - I love my independent agent. A good credit card will pick up collision/comprehensive.

My husband and I downgraded to one car in July 09. He drives our car to work everyday, and I primarily commute by bike. I've reached a point where I feel like driving is a nuisance. I took a carshare car to Costco today and was so glad when it was over. Traffic and parking are such a pain.
