Every mode of transport has some quirks if you're unfamiliar with the space.

  • Walking: is it too far, uphill for my ability, with environmental or manmade obstacles? Is the weather good enough for a longer walk?
  • Cycling/E-bikes: Is there a place to lock a bike or will I have to find a nearby pole? Is it okay if I'm sweaty at the end? How often do bikes get stolen and do they take wheels or seatposts? How is the road network getting there, do car drivers even know I exist in this city?
  • Bus/Train: How often does it come? How reliable is the schedule? Is construction or weather affecting my route? Do I have an alternate way back if it's delayed or I leave late?
  • Car: Where to park and how expensive is it? Is car theft rampant? How is traffic? Is there a detour route if there's a special event or construction?
  • Taxi, Hiring a Ride: How much does it usually cost? Can the taxi go that far? Is it going the right way? (There's GPS now so less of a concern.) Does the driver take cash or credit?

That said once familiar, bus and biking is a lot less stressful, so is a taxi but that's expensive.

Folding bikes, skateboards, and some scooters can come in with you (at least in some places).
