I walk around my town. On longer distances I use buses and trains.

When I really need it, I drive my dad’s car but that’s rare.

(Trying to revive the sub)

• Walk. I walk a lot… well not since the last few days since I broke a bone, but usually :p
• Public transportation. here in Paris we have a lot: buses, tram, metro, train.
• Taxi or Uber when we really have to. My spouse and I have not owned a car in over 20 years.
• We have also refused to travel by plane since the early 00s. Be it for personal or pro needs.

Walk has had the most crucial influence: it helped me get back into shape like nothing else did, both physically and mentally. A few years ago, I was not walking at all. As a matter of fact, I could barely walk a few meters before having to rest, my health was a mess. Nowadays; I will walk every single day for 8km or more.

2008 Toyota Corolla which never fails me

I ride my bike for all day-to-day stuff. ie. to and from work, to shops, to visit people, and basically everywhere else. For longer distances I use public transport.

I have never owned a car, and I’m getting old enough that I’m increasingly confident that I never will. I value the principle of ‘do no harm’; and my dislike of cars seems to go stronger the older I get. That said, I understand that different people and places have different needs. I’m not trying to talk you out of using a car if that’s what you do.

I’m new here and I’m not sure what defines simple living but I usually go by foot around town.

Distances are relatively short and it doesn’t take long to walk around. The cities in my country are very walkable. When going out of town I prefer the (dilapidated) train network. With my discount card I can ride 400km in around 6 hours for as little as 10$. I’m terrified of driving and I don’t want to bother with maintaining a car, not to mention the environmental impacts. If I really need a car when I’m overloaded with groceries, I order a cab but that’s rare.
