For me personally, trams are right up there. Aside from the main issue of sharing the roads instead of having a dedicated line, they really make it easy to get from one part of a city to another, especially for wheelchair users. They’re usually as frequent as buses, but much faster. The stations are much more attractive compared to bus stops (on newer systems), and can really make an area feel much nicer IMO.

For those that have a bike, suburban and inter city rail is a strong second. The speed and ease of last mile mobility is what appeals to me the most. Recently took my bike across the country to my home city and it ended up being much faster than driving (by almost an hour) - the multimodal commute was pretty hefty, but lots of fun nonetheless.

    There is no better way for a real 'murrican to get from point A to point B than in the driver’s seat of your brand new F150…

    …except literally 1000s of other means of transport including skipping, pogo-sticking, slithering like a snake, railroad handcar, ultralight, rollerskating, skateboarding, push scooter, teleportation, hot air balloon, powerwheelz, electric unicycle, trolly bar, walking etc. etc. etc.

    For me personally, I have to say bikes and on foot. Even in the colder months, a 15 miler feels great!
