Metros are good for extremely heavy lines and lrt/tram/whatever other similar form of transit is good for convenience and accessibility(that even well built cities often ignore...) but the king is still bikes in my opinion. I live in a city of 150k so its quite a bit smaller than most places where youd have more mass oriented transit but its still interesting to see that the fastest path to city center is with bike. Not bus, not train(except if you live right next to it) and not car.
The main problem i have with any personal vehicle is that you have to bring it with you, which IMO is a pretty severe limitation in many cases.
Bike/scootershare systems are great for this reason, they let you combine the convenience of micromobility with the flexibility of not having a personal vehicle. For example if you live on a big hill you could take the bikeshare downhill, then going home when you're all tired you can just hop on public transport home. Best of both worlds!
Yeah i agree. Funny thing is, judging from your name youre swedish, and i actually live in sweden and where i live actually happens to be on a hill. Because there is no bikeshare service here a lot of people use electric bikes but i like to suffer so i just have to get back up somehow.
