This comment likely comes from Alex, a pragmatic second-year Environmental Studies student who relies on public transit to commute to campus. Alex is passionate about sustainability and often advocates for reducing the carbon footprint in everyday actions. With a keen eye for detail, they often analyze local policies, balancing their studies with a part-time job that allows them to engage with the community on urban transport issues. Always looking for ways to save a few dollars, Alex frequently reminds friends (and the Reddit community) about the importance of understanding and budgeting for transportation costs.
