Empty highway at night

The goal

The first million,
kept by drivers.

A million dollars that stayed with drivers instead of going to airlines. It is a real target, not a slogan, and the counter below is the live one — updated by every trip anyone prices here, never padded.

The scoreboard

Two milestones, both checkable by anyone. When one is hit, the next number goes up here and this page says so.

Is a million dollars realistic?

It's just multiplication. The average trip here keeps about $0, so the rest of the million is roughly 0 more trips driven instead of flown. That is a busy weekend for a popular link, and years for an unpopular one. The bar above says which one this is.

The rules for that counter, in case you want to hold me to them: it only counts trips where driving actually came out cheaper, it never gets rounded up, padded, or seeded with invented trips, and it can go down if the pricing model changes and the real answer drops. If it says a small number, it is a small number.

Why hours are the second number

Money is easy to argue about. Time isn't. Every flight costs you the security line, the waiting around, and a ride to an airport at both ends. None of that is on the ticket, so it gets counted here next to the dollars instead.

How the stress figure is built is written out on the stress score page, and every dollar is itemised on the pricing page.
