Alternative Transport

When wheezing your way through a smoggy day or stuck in traffic, you may wonder what the world would be like without cars. Or even half as many cars. The truth is we'd all breathe easier and save more dough with alternative transportation. Try these on for size:

Carpool - You're all going the same way, so why not go together?

Hybrid/Biofuel - Guilt-free motoring with bonus good karma points if you carpool

Bus - Sit back and watch the scene go by or just snooze and cruise

Train - The speediest mode to avoid a bumper-to-bumper road

Electric Bike - Space and fuel-efficient wheels for stylish urban commutes. Park anywhere!

Rollerblades/Bike/Skateboard - People-powered transport lets you say goodbye to traffic and hello to a better booty

Segways - They may not be the coolest ride you'll ever roll in, but they are super energy efficient and they get you where you're going at a surprising speed. Now just make sure you don't fall off.
