I figure I save about $6000 per year riding a motorcycle versus driving the car and not that much less over taking public transportation. I factored in gasoline, bridge toll, parking, and time of the commute. It wouldn't be worth it for my employer to give me $10/month, I save over ten times that by riding a motorcycle. Oh yeah, and it is so much more fun too. Here in Oakland, California motorcycling is the cheapest form of commutting as well as the fastest if you choose to lane split.
