Drive vs. fly vs. JSX vs. bus

Door-to-door trip comparator

Compare the entire door-to-door chain with editable access, waiting, destination, party-size, and contingency assumptions, then confirm current schedules, fares, and traffic with official providers.

Not savedInputs and results last only on this page. If you explicitly prepare a return-travel budget handoff, one modeled monthly amount and its scenario basis stay in this browser until the cost ledger imports or dismisses it. Save as reference keeps only the tool link.

Your assumptions

Build the whole chain

Starting values are editable examples, not live traffic, fares, schedules, or airport guidance.

Planning output only. Confirm traffic, schedule, fare, terminal, baggage, parking, exact stops, and ground transport with the responsible source.

Recurring LA-return budget

Turn a trip scenario into a monthly planning line

Use a round-trip party-cost scenario and an annual frequency. The monthly value is party cost × trips per year ÷ 12; no fare, schedule, or frequency is inferred.

Choose a mode and annual trip count to create a monthly budget handoff.

Open the cost ledger →
The handoff stores only the mode label, travelers, modeled party cost, frequency, and monthly amount in this browser. The cost ledger asks before importing it.
