We just moved from a very rural area to a large city and am surprised at all the food delivery/rent-a-bike-or-scooter/ride-share/car-share/random delivery/etc. apps and services that are available. What do you find you get the most use of and most value for money?
Public transit. I live near where a rapid bus and train intersect so I can get to most non suburb spots super easily and cheaply.
Yep, moved to a transit hub in the city. No longer have a car. I just use public transit, bike, and on the rare occasion, ride share.
I started using an app called Transit instead of just google maps. While searching for businesses is worse, the information and details about public transit is better. You can even buy tickets directly through it, very useful compared to downloading a new app every time I’m in a new city.
A bit of a brag, but my city provides gigabit fiber internet service for around $50/month. Due to cable-sponsored state laws, they are not able to provide service outside of the city limits despite many areas not serviced at all by cable or dsl. We had actually voted to use city tax money to start expanding fiber service into those areas and were shut down, resulting in quite a lot of upset rural residents.
What city is this? This sucks for rural residents but also good to promote denser city living
