It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Bit late to the discussion, but I've only just found this thread, so please bear with me.
What if I'm dealing with both? For context: my city has okay transportation system, but it's about 10 minutes walk to the nearest bus stop (not a lot, unless it's snowing, because nobody clears the bloody snow), then either a 30-40 minute ride to city centre and switching buses, or about 5-10 minute ride in the opposite direction to the bus depot and getting on the bus there (can't get this bus from my stop, it passes over). Either way it's a 1-1.5 hour commute. By car it's 30-60 minutes drive, but with the obvious caveat of gas prices, traffic jams, carbon emissions, and atrocious parking situation.
So it's kinda both - too long of a trip to walk in general, but also short enough if it's via public transport. What would you recommend in this situation?
Scooter, as it can easially get on a bus with you. bike and transit is a poor mix and this doesn't sound like a bikeable trip.
Thanks!
