Isn't that like, extremely high??
If it includes parking and lunch then it's probably pretty accurate for big cities dealing with new density and poor transportation infrastructure.
As I hear it, NYC in particular considers people who commute to the city to be evading taxes by not living there but using all their infrastructure and services when deciding their tolls.
Train to work and back is 20 bucks for me + bus is 6 bucks
If I had to buy lunch at work that's another 20 bucks
If I had a car, gas would be like 10, parking would be 15, and then the amortized cost of car payments, car insurance, and maintenance + lunch still if I had to buy it
