If my bosses don't appreciate me, I quit. Based ONLY on the "take the bus" comment, I would set up a private meeting with your boss and tell him/her that you don't like their attitude and how you are treated, that you are extremely unhappy and that if it doesn't change immediately, you will quit (and I would follow through if there are no changes over the next week or so).

Now, factoring in everything else doesn't leave them in a strong position. I don't mind working long hours, or even on weekends, BUT I have to be rewarded for doing so. If I am doing more than normally (in your contract, or in similarly or better paying jobs that you can easily get elsewhere) expected, then I expect to be rewarded and appreciated for doing so. Telling you to take the bus doesn't show much appreciation, so I'd say screw it, mid project or not, and leave.

--- You're health, well-being and happiness are much more important than their project. ---

(Ironically, it has just hit 7am as I write this, but at least I've been up all night because I wanted to, not because somebody is asking or expecting me to)

EDIT: After rereading what you said, it looks like you already know the answer:

"I mean, this isn't funny anymore. I do not hold stake in the company, the job isn't that exciting and does nothing for my resume and my hourly rate is at the lowest point in three years."

If you can (that is, if you have enough money to survive however long it will take to find a new job), then I would definitely quit. If you can't, then you should get your CV/Resume out to companies right away and save as much as you can until you either get another job, or have enough money to survive until you do.
