My scooter is definitely my prefered method of transport, esepcially to work.

My commute is about 6 miles on a very congested road with many stoplights, in MA, restricted scooters (under 30mph) can use the bike lane legally. Which saves lots of time.

If I take public transportation, it's about an hour.

If I commute at rush hour, the buses are jam packed and it's disgusting. Lots of smelly people and for some reason bus drivers keep the heat on 90. I drive a bus, not a public one, so I hate T buses.

Parking permits where I work are about $900/yr. for daytime parking. Motorcycles are about $250, and restricted scooters don't have plates, just stickers. Free parking.

I ride in almost any weather. Wednesday it's supposed to snow so I might drive my truck. It will take about 45 minutes, but there's free parking when it's snowing because they can't see your permit. : )
