This is the stretch I take to the Energy Cooridor. It's a fortune going from Katy to Downtown already, but I'm going against traffic and it costs me about 60 cents. They adjust the rates depending on time of day.
I spend 2 hours or more per day in traffic. $10 a day wound add up quickly. I would likely adjust my hours to avoid the peak rush hour times, either negotiate flexible hours at work to go in later or I would even go in extremely early...better to sit at your desk drink coffee and play on the net than sit in traffic.
To avoid traffic, I go in slightly later than most. It helps but doesn't avoid all traffic. 4951
