A new, financed car is approaching $500/mo in payments, insurance, and petrol. The price of a well equipped Camry is over $30k. And dealers are turning to more exotic financing terms to keep people buying; 6 and 7 year financing is becoming more common just to keep the payments down.

Owning a car is becoming a major, but necessary, liability for those that don’t have mass transit.

This makes sense if your only use of the car was for your commute but many people use a car for other activities as well and if you have one the incremental cost of driving to work could be less than mass transit, hence the complaints about the high cost. Personally, I hate driving and would much rather use the train.
