Creator's Key Takeaways

We have two goals today. First is to get to Newark. The second goal is to see how much money we can save as compared to going taking a cab.

You do feel a sense of accomplishment when you do this um rather than you know just taking a cab.

It took us 3 hours, 3 and 1/2 hours and 30 minutes.

So, it's an hour and a half more, but you saved about $110 coming from Long Island to Newark.
