Calculate Your Monthly Commute Costs

So, exactly how much DOES it cost to drive your car? There’s more to it than just the cost of gas such as the cost of maintenance, insurance, and other periodic expenditures… To get an idea how much it costs to drive, use our easy-to-use driving cost calculator. Compare the results against what it would cost you to ride Tri Delta Transit and see how much money you could save.

To use the calculator, enter the distance you drive each day; the number of days per month you work; your vehicles MPG; the cost per gallon for fuel; and parking costs (if any). The calculator will figure out how much you spend every month and every year.

If the cost of driving seems high, consider taking the bus.

A one-way fare on Tri Delta Transit fixed route buses is just $1.75, or you can purchase 20 ride punch passes for only $30. If you ride Express Route 300 to BART you can get a commuter punch pass of 20 rides for only $32! For even greater savings, purchase a Monthly Pass, good for unlimited rides on all local fixed route buses AND Express Route 300, for just $50.
