Bike or electric scooter. Not sure what the distance is but anything under 25 kms is feasible.
I'm not cycling the 40 miles between affordable housing and my office in 105° for 5 months or of the year.
Not everybody can live in New York where the system can support robust public transit.
I live near Austin, and the cheapest place to rent in the small city I work is over $4,000 a month. The place I live is 1/5th of that, but it's a 90-minute commute by car.
I'd kill for better housing or transit options, but it's a very complex problem to solve in established areas that largely developed post-automobile. I work in municipal planning, so I appreciate both the advantages and the challenges more than most.
25 km (15 mi) is a bit of a stretch, although I'd have to test my ebike at those distances to know for sure. I got 10 miles one way throttle-only the other day before I ran out of battery
Can you not just manually pedal?
