I pay £8 for a 13 mile (~20 minute) train ride, 3 days a week.
Quick maths:
8*3 = £24 per week
24*4 = £96 per month
96*12 = £1152 per year
Which is about 4% of my annual income.
If I would take the train everyday, it would be about 6%. On top of that I also make up about 2.5 miles by foot every single day, to save on bus fares or even worse, cabs.

A comparison of a car driver would be useful.
