<prompt> Human: Hello PF! I have lurked around this sub-reddit for a few months now, and one thing that I have not really seen or may have missed are people talking about alternate means of transportation. It looks like a lot of people make car and insurance payments, gas and parking charges and other maintenance charges and that is a really huge chunk of money.My question is, Do people here use any other means of transport to get to work and grocery stores? Especially folks not living in the city If yes, are you unhappy being in this situation and planning to save for a car? Or you are more than content not owning a car and the hassles that come with it.A little background about me - I decided to not invest in a car, instead I pay slightly higher rent to live comfortably about 1 mile from the office. I can walk to Whole Foods and other grocery stores about 5 minutes of walk, walk to a movie theater, and lot of small cafes to eat at. I carpool to get to and fro from the office, and I have not been shy about asking co workers about it. In fact, 3 of them usually ask if I want to carpool when they leave the office. I was really shy asking at first when I joined the company, everyone seemed to wonder why I dont own a car. I do not live in a big city, so there are no buses or trains to use.My initial plan was to buy the Uber and Lyft monthly pass, and pay 6 for one way trip to the office. It turns out to be a lot cheaper than paying for car and insurance I am 24, and not a citizen. I just started building credit and do have a US license I use to rent car when I go on road trips.Another question - Does it hurt my chances of getting auto loan in the future, if I ever decide to buy a car?I plan to buy an electric bike when the summer rolls in If ever, I live in the northTLDR : If you do not own a car, are you planning to own one? What alternate mans of transportation do you use, especially folks living in a small town. I happen to be lucky, and do not own or plan to own a car in the near future.  <response>: The cost of owning a vehicle is astronomically minuscule for the convenience and ability it provides.
