Tereceag, I work in DC and live in a suburb. Metro will cost me about $4.50 each way from home into the city. All of the shops that I do in the city are walking distance from work.
The shops I do in my home state are in a 20 mile radius from where I live. I won't drive 20 miles for a cell phone shop. I will drive 20 miles for an apartment or banker shop, and I will find a nearby cell phone, bank teller and lunch shop with a fee.
