Check my ride receipts from last month, the short hops under two miles added up to almost forty bucks. Calling those 'tiny trips' is crazy when you see the total at the end of the week. Even saving a couple bucks each time makes a real difference.
Right, because apparently walking two blocks to save $3.50 is some kind of financial wizardry now. But hey, if it helps you sleep better at night looking at that bank statement, more power to you.
