Hello everyone, my modes of transport are: Walking, getting the bus (occasionally) and getting a lift of a friend (to go play football/soccer).

Hello! I'm lucky enough to be allowed the use of a family car, and have a license so that's my preferred mode. I'm too out of shape to really walk anywhere, and I've never been able to figure out the bus system. How do you even do that? Where do buses even come from.... Nobody knows.....

If you dont have transportation, ya gotta have information!! (Thats my motto!)
Google your area bus system. Many districts help you plan your ride ahead of time with online apps, or give you real time info on when a particular bus will arrive at a given location. |

Believe me, I've tried the google thing. I think it might just be a problem with comprehension, all joking aside.

I mostly walk to get around. If I'm going further afield I'll either catch a bus or train.
I passed my drivers test 8 years ago but haven't driven a single day since! I just don't see the need for a car living in a city.

With the use of my cane but I still fall when trying to get to the bathroom, kitchen, etc. I can no longer drive, so my wife takes me to my doctors appointments. Sucks to lose your freedom.....

Bus. Walking. Lift from a friend. Bicycle on those rare occasions when I'm feeling delusionally optimistic.

Walking places that I can, taxi other places (I don't drive and have been living in this city for under a year), occasionally a ride from my downstairs neighbors.
Can't wait to move back home in January when my modes of transportation will change to walking, but mostly bus (the buses there, unlike where I live now are great, very timely, very easy, generally require no transfers even if you're going across town etc). That's how I lived for 2 years and it wasn't bad at all. |

This town doesn't have bus. I can't afford a car. I really wish I could. Taxi is very expensive way of getting around but the main stores I need to go to are too far to walk, plus I can't walk as far now and carry things. So I just tell myself all that money for a taxi would have gone to car insurance and payments. I miss the freedom of having a car, which my ex so nicely just sold on me and never paid back for.

I drive an old beater car. That's fine; I love to drive and I deal with the old car. Problem is, the registration is way past due & the car needs to pass a smog test tomorrow to get registered. If it passes, it'll be nothing short of a miracle. So...I'm stressing really badly. I wouldn't mind walking, bicycling, etc. at all if I didn't feel so fatigued and weird from med side-effects. Then too, not having a car means big problems as far as getting anyplace out of town. Ugh.

When I first moved here it was walking and buses.
But this city is designed for cars. Walking is very dangerous...i was walking on a sidewalk once and a idiot who was upset traffic wasn't moving drove up on the sidewalk behind me as was honking at me to get out of the way. Those who ride bikes are constantly on the News for getting hit by cars. It was just under a mile to the closes bus and it took hours to get anywhere. so now I have a 16 year old gas hog...Just adding to the pollution, it is comfortable thou! .it really would be nice if the mass transit system here worked like the one in my old city. I could get anywhere I needed to go and save that money from car expenses. I can't walk that far any more and getting from one bus stop to another is now beyond be for physical reason.

I live in BFE Rural , people usually can't find my home with a GPS kinda area, lol . I have a car, thankfully, Unless I got back into horses and hitched a wagon, There is a huge Amish community in the area, they do fine by wagon, But I am thinking that would be okay until I has a mass craving for ice cream at 3:21am LOL
Ill keep getting gouged by Big Oil companies. Its roughly a 20 mile walk to a gas station Further for the dreaded Walmart. Did I mention its all hilly too ? hehe I do wish I have access to public transportation , but I moved here to get away from packed too many people in on place cities.

car. Public trans here sucks. I'm not walking 5 miles to a bus stop to wait for a bus that comes every 90-120 minutes. If you actually live downtown here then bus is the way to go but if off the beaten track car is it.

No public transport where I live and I don't drive. So, if hubby is away, I walk to the store (about a 25 minute walk each way). Otherwise, my patient hubby takes me where ever I need to be.
My son has a small scooter / motorbike and will soon be getting his learners license. Only thing is, we cannot afford to get him a car. Oh, how we would love to get him one for his 18th birthday.

I am surprised no one has mentioned motorbike - you would be crazy to ride one of these here with heavy traffic and useless drivers, but in the vastness of America surely it would be more practicable.
Cheap to buy, cheap to run - my old bike was a student Godsend.
