In most cases this will not help, and it can make things worse. But it creates the illusion of being faster, and this seems to help. Get rid of that illusion.

Too expensive That's ridiculous. People who spend a fortune on a fancy car get misery when it comes to buying a ticket for peanuts. It is a general disadvantage of public transportation that it does not take you from door to door. Btw, when you circle around to find a place to park, getting further and further away from your destination, and finally park somewhere, and walk back to your destination, you are not any better off. Public transportation and cycling go together very well.
