gollark: Personally, I think that local public transport and short-range intra-city electric cars would be worth considering.
gollark: Batteries' energy density isn't that great right now, sadly.
gollark: Also, they cause pollution indirectly, much like electric cars, although less.
gollark: Not travelling with another person.
gollark: You also have to be:- by yourself- within a short distance of where you want to go- okay with lower speed- not carrying large things
