I like to walk when I can. Otherwise, it's the bus - while we still have them.
I spend far too much on taxis. Now, if anyone suggests we get the Tube I say, 'The Tube! I'd forgotten about that.'
When I'm in New York, I bike everywhere. I have a couple of bikes stored over at Ed Norton's. It's the only way to go. But in Hawaii, I drive. I have a little Volkswagen Bug, from the 'Drive it? Hug it?' phase. I run it on biodiesel.
Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.
It is important to give commuters greater, more reliable mass transit options and... great potential to get cars off of I-80 and eliminate other daily traffic jams in northern New Jersey.
None of the proposed inter-city solutions would have offered more frequent or more affordable service than existing options like bussing. Busses can also be easily re-routed around gas leaks, car accidents, or traffic congestion.
I'm frugal. It's often cheaper to take the subway. And I'm an environmentalist, which my mother instilled in me, so I really believe in public transportation. And finally, I love the proximity to people in the subway.
I don't ride the subway. Either I walk, or I take a New York City taxi.
I absolutely love the public transportation system in New York. No matter what, no matter how people complain, it is the best in the world.
Bikes are clearly a superior form of transportation when it comes to just simple getting around. A car makes sense if you need to carry a bunch of stuff.
