While nowhere near the all-time highs of 2008, gas prices are still much higher than most of us would like to pay. Add in the seemingly-endless construction season in Wisconsin and the daily commute can often be a bigger pain than it needs to be.

So sound off, OnMilwaukee.com readers; do high gas prices, construction, traffic and parking get you to use the Milwaukee County Transit System or are you willing to "tough it out" each day, and make the trek on your own?

Yes, I use the bus for my commute, errands or short trips: It's easy and convenient and saves me some money. Other people in bigger cities like Chicago, New York and the Twin Cities use public transportation, so why shouldn't we?

No, thanks. I'm fine on my own: The bus is too expensive, too out-of-the-way and too much of a hassle. I spent a lot of money on my car and insurance, so there's no need to let it sit in the garage.
