For most local trips (up to 5 km), I will either walk or bike as my default option. For longer local trips (up to 50 km), I use the public transit we have in my city, which is world-class. A third option I use from time to time for local trips is taxis, but this is a very rare occurrence. Finally, for longer-distance trips, I take the train.
In rare circumstances, I will rent a car, but this is an almost never-occurrence for me.
Your ability to do the same will be highly dependent on what kind of infrastructure is available where you live. A large part of the message in this community is pointing out the need for this type of infrastructure, such that more people can enjoy living life with less cars for transportation.
