I like all three choices. Pick the one you fancy most.
I had a situation about 4-5 years ago almost exactly like yours. They were building Rail near where I needed to go but it was years out from completion. I ended up with a Geo Metro and never looked back. I even found 2 people I worked with that I convinced to car pool with me every day. They paid for all of my gas for over 2 years. Even with a full weight load my Metro would beat their cars by a lot. I averaged nearly 60 MPG until I had to retire it (120 man miles per gallon with passengers). Back then I paid $450 for the car. It saved me nearly $2000 in gas over the years plus what I didn't have to pay with the car pool contributions.
