I bought my car outright, and I would have got that and my insurance whether I need it for work or not. For me the GO train + TTC is approx $13 a day. Driving is $18, which includes parking and gas. Why would I pay for the GO and driving daily (500 + 300)? That doesn't make any sense lol. Even if I included the cost of my car, insurance, gas, parking and (to make it fun) my cable bill, I still pay less than the base cost of an entry level apartment downtown. I don't consider my time driving wasted, it's leisure time.

EDIT: On second reading you may be talking about driving to the GO station, in which case I agree... although I can easily walk to the GO station in <5 minutes myself. Your parent comment might also live a short walk or bus ride away from the Clarkson GO station
