    Why calculate my costs per mile if I don’t have any alternatives? It costs me what it costs.

      The video isn’t your cost per mile. It is the cost per mile on society as a whole per mode of transport

      1. Multiple peoples cost per mile should be aggregated to open up alternatives.

      2. Even if you only have one method of transportation, the distance you travel is still elastic.
