You may remember a post I did - Public Transit Coming To Wake Forest - Getting Around Just Got Easier! - about a month ago and the excitement it generated providing ease and convenience getting around Wake Forest and into Raleigh.

Well, I just found this GREAT tool that you can use to estimate how much money you can save by using Public Transit for commuting. 

As you can see, this handy little tool (just click on the picture) allows you to input your own information to calculate your annual savings!  Pretty handy to have and a great factor in deciding whether you want to use more Public Transit to get around.

As for Wake Forest Public Transit?  It has been VERY well received in the area!  Remember, the Wake Forest loop is free through December 31, 2008!  You can't beat that!  As for the Wake Forest - Raleigh Express?  Only $2.00 - $2.50 each way depending on the time of day. 

I love Wake Forest!  The conveniences offered just keep getting better!

Welcome to My Back Yard.... I hope you love it as much as I do!
