gollark: Personally, I think that local public transport and short-range intra-city electric cars would be worth considering.

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
