I've been biking everywhere since I moved into town. I also ride the bus if I'm too tired to bike home, and occasionally my mom drives me out to my parents' place.

I get driven. I have CP, and my lack of reflexes makes driving unrealistic.

I'm hoping we get Uber or Lyft in this area. Currently, they are illegal in Upstate NY, because of threat they supposedly pose to the taxi industry. But legislators are currently working on changing that, which would be awesome because public transportation here is highly restrictive (very limited destinations, limited hours of operation, and no weekend availability) and taxi fare would cost me more than a day's pay.

I needed to check several of the boxes there. I walk to everything that's walking distance (some restaurants, coffee shops, parks), drive to a few others (grocery, volunteer activities), and use uber for still others.

I don't use transit much these days, but in every other city I've lived in that's been my primary choice of transportation - the infrastructure just isn't great for it where I am now.

To be fair, I do a mix of mostly walking/running, bus, and often Uber for shorter distances.
Buying any and all Sonic the Hedgehog items of any kind I don't already have. Can also trade ponies of all generations.

If it's in the nearby little town center, I usually walk...I have a phobia of driving that I'm trying to work on and don't have a license anymore.  But often my sister, who lives next door, will drive me elsewhere, and I have a social worker that works with me who gets me to my appointments.

While I do have a license, switching epilepsy medication and going deaf(inner ear caused). Both have affected my fine motor skills. So I feel unsafe doing so. Though I live in a country that allows some drivers with epilepsy to drive. I choose not to. So it's bus/public transit. For shorter trips (couple of blocks), I walk.  Uber would be an option but I have no idea how to use it. :lol:

I have a license and can drive, but generally prefer not to. Parking can be a serious pain in the city, and if I'm going somewhere else, I'm usually with my partner (and he prefers to drive). So either he drives us around, or I catch public transit. We have been having a serious talk about getting a second car soon, though. We're really not sure what kind to go with. My last car was a Toyota Matrix S, and the nearest equivalent to that in Australia is the Toyota Corolla Ascent S. Safe, reliable, and just a little bit peppy. However, we're also looking at Mini Coopers, because the insurance on them is ridiculously cheap, and they're not something I'd mind leaving on the street outside our place at night.

Bit moot, though. For now, I stick to topping up my Opal card and riding the trains around. haha

I can't drive because if I do the insurance will be high because I suffer with type one diabetes (had it since I was three).

My dad drives me and my mum when we have to go somewhere, other times it's our friend Ruth who takes me and my mum shopping.

I normally walk to my local library down the square, but if I'm running late then my dad drives me down there.

A mother pony can be protective of her young just like dogs.

I can't vote since I sometimes walk, sometimes take the train, sometimes drive...
