Save Gas, Save Money $, Even Save the Planet:

 Ride Runways!

 

With gas prices soaring, Runways' fares are looking even better.  In terms of gasoline alone, at a price of $4.00 per gallon, assuming a fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon, the cost to drive is getting expensive.  It is even more so when you consider the full cost to drive a car based on the IRS-business deductible rate of 50.5¢ per mile.

Here are a few examples:

Between One-Way Miles Cost for Gas Only (Round Trip) Cost Based on IRS Rate of 50.5¢/mile Cost at 50.5¢/mile + 3 days of parking @ $10/day Runways' Lowest Round Trip Fare for 1 Person Runways Saves You Up To:
Gainesville - Jacksonville 86 $27.52 $86.86 $116.86 $65.00 $51.86
Gainesville - Orlando 120 $38.40 $121.20 $151.20 $70.00 $81.20
Jacksonville - Orlando 173 $55.36 $174.73 $204.73 $90.00 $114.73
Jacksonville - Jacksonville Beach 30 $9.60 $30.30 $60.30 $40.00 $20.30

Remember that by using Runways you gain the freedom of shopping for the lowest airfare not just from your closest airport, but choosing between Jacksonville or Orlando International Airports, so your savings can be even more when you consider the difference in the price of an airline ticket!

So whether you are traveling through Jacksonville or Orlando International Airports, or just getting around between North and Central Florida, Runways lets you travel better, and cheaper!

Not only are you saving money, but you are also helping the environment.  Did you know that on average Runways can move 180 passenger miles on just one gallon of diesel fuel with its efficient Sprinters?  Runways has even successfully tested using biodiesel, and hopes to use this more environmentally-sensitive fuel in the future.  Runways also has located its station stops for connections to local transit services, with LYNX at Orlando International Airport, RTS at Gainesville UF, and JTA at Jacksonville International Airport and Jacksonville UNF.  For more information of how you can Dump the Pump, visit www.publictransportation.org.
