I purchased my 2003 Juice Metro at the tail end of 6 week transit strike, and even though the buses are again rolling, I've only ridden the bus twice on two very wet mornings. My scooter gets me the same distance 10 minutes quicker, and my schedule is my own. Even at $2 a gallon for gas, it's working out to about $1 a day to cover gas, insurance, and scheduled maintenance. Factor in the cost of the vehicle itself, and I'm still about $4 to $4.25 for the first two years. that's almost a dollar less than the bus. I ride a minimum of 24 miles a day, 12 each way. I also use it for short and long hops around town, for which it is perfectly suited. My only gripe is that I have to ride at full-throttle most of the time since it tops at about 35 mph. My other gripe is that I'll only be able to use it from April to October, but that's the fault of a Minnesota winter, and nothing to do with Honda!
