Bike or electric scooter. Not sure what the distance is but anything under 25 kms is feasible.
Comment on More Than 80 Percent Of Americans Can’t Afford New Cars
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 months agoThe biggest problem I run I to with transit in most cities is the time sink, security flaws, and expense.
I drive to a park and ride where I have to pay 12 dollars to have my car broken into. Then wait 20 minutes to pamy another $15 to take the light rail that drops me off 8 blocks from my destination, then wait 20 minutes to pay 5 bucks for the bus that drops me 2 blocks away, then walk to my destination.
Or I could drive straight to my destination, pay 8 bucks for the parking garage with a security gate, and save an hour.

I’m not cycling the 40 miles between affordable housing and my office in 105° for 5 months or of the year.

25 km (15 mi) is a bit of a stretch, although I'd have to test my ebike at those distances to know for sure. I got 10 miles one way throttle-only the other day before I ran out of battery

Can you not just manually pedal?

Right, the “take mass transit” works great … in places with functional mass transit.
