Here in Canada without car you can't go much of anywhere...

I walk or take the bus within my town. If I'm going further I take the bus if one stops where I need it to, or hitchhike.

If I'm visiting a city with Uber/Lyft I'll often use that, especially if the bus service is bad. I appreciate that the bus is cheaper and more environmentally friendly, but if it takes 1.5 hours to get somewhere, nope.

I'd say it's about 40% motorcycle, 35% car, 20% walk, and the rest is various public transportation mmm...

The traffic is horrible here so going around with motorcycle is just way more efficient mmm...

US suburbs, school and work, and Germany, stationed, and US again, work and retired
Drove from 16 to 58, till medical reasons
Donated my vehicle
Now Uber mostly (still US suburbs, you know) for errands, etc.
Brothers and friends sometimes, for occasions
I now have nothing but time to read anything and everything!

But, when first stationed in Germany in the 80's, now THAT was public transit.
Trains everywhere in all directions, slow and stop at every town, fast and non-stop city to city.
Bus routes not only all over cities and towns, but between towns and cities, and snaking out to most hamlets.
And schedules and frequencies late into the night, year-round.
Taxis, then, were public hail on the street, or at stands near stations and shops, with some landline telephone request/ radio dispatch for special requests (pre-cell / pre-ride share, much less Uber)

I can only imagine that it has maintained and improved over the years, with government policies and technological advances supporting it.

Who the hell are the madlads going around on an aircraft

In Spain, a bus is the only way to get around. But when I lived in Bangkok it was taxi 24/7. It is so dirt cheap you would not consider anything else.

US City. Bike commuter (95%) + buses (5%). US Suburbs. Rental Car/Taking family or friends cars.

Hopefully, I will never buy a car ever again. I am just paying too much extra stuff. I like biking too, even if my bike gets stuffed jacked off of it every other month.

I commute by feet, bike, train, bus, and uber. Not sure which one should I choose from this poll. 😅 Out of them, my favorite is train though. It's always packed during the busy hours, but I love the atmosphere, not to mention they mostly have fixed schedule.

I also love cycling, but I sold my bike 2 years ago.. I still have an electric bike at home, but due to some circumstances, I can't bring it over to my new place.

I'm so jealous of you top crusters who get to get around mostly by aircraft! 😳

For me it's mostly train, bus, or walking. I take the underground train for my daily commute, so I picked that, but I prefer to walk or take the bus if I have more time so I can enjoy the scenery. I love architecture. It's very rare that I go anywhere by car (less than once a month) although I do quite like travelling by road, especially at night. Seeing all the headlights, street lamps, lit up shops and upstairs windows puts me in a good mood.

I definitely wouldn't like having to drive in traffic every morning, though, so it's good I don't live in the US or Canada.

P.S. I really want a motorcycle.

Certain vehicles are different enough that they shouldn't be listed within "Cars". It would be a more informative poll if Cars was separated into the following three separate items: truck, SUV, car(sedan,kei)

In Dutch cities there are generally buses and in large cities there may also be trams (tram, fast tram or light rail) or metros/subways (heavy rail, just two cities). Travelling across city in a large city such as Amsterdam, The Hague or Rotterdam, there's a high chance you travel by both tram, bus and/or metro. Maybe even by pont (flat-bottomed ferry) when crossing larger waterways. Trains are more practical when travelling between cities and more expensive than inner city public transit such (bus/tram/metro).

I use all public transit, so the poll options don't really fit when I have to choose between train/subway, bus, and light rail is omitted entirely, so I had to pick bus. Within a large city like Amsterdam it'd be mostly tram, then metro, then bus. In a medium-large city bus or if present tram. Though if I could use the bicycle to get anywhere faster, I would, but my college days of arriving sweaty and panting for awhile while not being faster than public transit taught me to choose more rationally lol.

For a future poll, I'd probably split public transit into train and bus/tram/metro since all three are mostly restricted to within a city and generally operated by the same single company responsible for that city/urban area. Weird or not, it was pretty funny to see the skateboard lumped in with scooters! Also curious where people live if they travel by animal! Like for Americans, if you fly to school by eagle, does it fly back…

You forgot:
□ wheelchair
□ disability scooter/mobility device

Those are my choices! Well, not exactly my choices by choice.... 🙄

When I used to live back in our metro, my favourite from of transportation was through the tube. Nowadays I live out on the boonies, and as much as I try my best to go out to walk to places, I find myself driving a car most often. I'm thinking of getting a bike though, which would be a big help!
