We just moved from a very rural area to a large city and am surprised at all the food delivery/rent-a-bike-or-scooter/ride-share/car-share/random delivery/etc. apps and services that are available. What do you find you get the most use of and most value for money?
Public transit. I live near where a rapid bus and train intersect so I can get to most non suburb spots super easily and cheaply.
Yep, moved to a transit hub in the city. No longer have a car. I just use public transit, bike, and on the rare occasion, ride share.
I started using an app called Transit instead of just google maps. While searching for businesses is worse, the information and details about public transit is better. You can even buy tickets directly through it, very useful compared to downloading a new app every time I’m in a new city.
Google maps just sort of stopped working for my local transit. It now mostly just shows its shitty Uber-like service Bolt. I started using Citymapper instead but I think it’s a British app so your mileage may vary. No complaints from me though!
Bump for transit too. There’s a stigma about it in rural areas but they clearly don’t know what it’s like to be able to get anywhere in your city quickly without a car. I take the train any time I can
