Of course, this article is 2009, so it's possible Chicago's pricing could have also gone up. I think an update to this article is in order. Trimet in Portland, Oregon is 2.40 for a standard ticket.

( directly to downtown... ) for a transfer is 2.75. and those only last 3 hours... 80.00 for a one zone monthly bus pass. not sure what the price of a two zone pass. but the thing about it is that you have no other choice but to spend 2.75 a day. because u dont always have to go downtown.. then to the neigherborhood of your choice... it sucks.. yesss… well pgh is 2.00 for one trip.

This isn't a subway or anything, just a bus that is often late or doesn't show up. A monthly bus pass for an adult is $91 (up to $140 if you live a little further out). As if that's not bad enough, they feel the need to raise the price yearly. A single bus ride in Ottawa, Canada is $3.25 (but can get up to $5.25 depending on the trip).

Plus parking is not free here either, even at the outlying stations. The whole peak hours thing is annoying too. They go from 7-9 in the morning and 3-7 in the evening. However, you pay full fare if you begin or end the commute during these times, so a person riding for an hour who starts at 2:05 will have to pay full fare when they arrive at 3:05.

It costs me $4.05 each way to get to/from work for just the rail, the bus if I choose to ride is another $1.50 (and rates are going up in March '10).

I just moved here and I'm floored by how expensive public transportation is. I haven't rode the bus yet, but the Subway fares here are determined by distance traveled and whether it was during "peak" hours (6am-9am, 3-7pm weekday, 2am-3:30 am weekends). It costs me $3.25 each way to travel about 12 miles on the Subway to work. I can’t believe no one has mentioned DC yet! I just moved here and I’m floored by how expensive public transportation is.
