In most of the US, this is no mass transit system to speak of. If you want to get to work, you must drive yourself there. The average Joe here (in california at least) drives anywhere between 20 to 50 miles to work, or 40 to 100 miles per day round trip, depending on where they live.
That's slovenian prices. Probibly the highest around if you take the an average pay into account. The UK and Scandinavia have higher prices, but people there earn almost tripple what we do.

But no one here drives more than 50 km (30miles) to work. Still, everyone drives anywhere since the public transit is a joke
