The one thing that doesn't get enough mention is bicycles and scooters. I think most people dismiss them as non viable in the US because they are dangerous but they are often significantly cheaper to own and use per mile than cars. In other countries they are much more common as a mode of transportation than in the US for that reason.

My dad bikes to work everyday, I don't even know how long it takes but it has to be over an hour each way, he's insane. Also very healthy for his age which is the up side of course. I'm going to just go ahead and assume though that we have more bike lanes where I'm from too.
