Biggest problem with that is .... what if you need/want to be around past
the time of the last bus/train? (many don't run past 11 or 11:30. We didn't
get done eating till close to 11:00 this last meeting. Suppose it had gone
longer?)

Then you're screwed, with no way to get where you're going - except to
impose on someone else to give you a ride (I'm presuming that if you don't
want tospend that much for parking, spending at least that much for a cab
late on a cold night is also out).

And it sure can be more than $4.50. Espcially round-trip, on a regional rail
out to (for example) Bryn Mawr. Never mind the farther locations.

This presumes you're anywhere near a regional rail station to begin with.
