You keep driving the same trip. Riders contribute $3.00 each, which goes against what the drive already costs you. Contributions offset your costs — they never turn a profit, so this never goes below $0.
July 2026 figures. Gas $1.95/L (Régie de l’énergie, week of July 27, 2026). ARTM monthly passes effective July 1, 2026. All-day lot rates from the Agence de mobilité durable, effective February 1, 2026; downtown monthly range via SpotAngels. On-street meter rates are not used here — on-street parking has a maximum duration, so it is not a full-workday option. Wear-and-tear rate is a CAA-style estimate, not a quote.
