Those are great ways to save on transportation that you have mentioned. I love the idea of taking a walk or biking. Those are neglected yet the best transport methods. The not only help you save but they also keep you healthy and fit.
You could walk or cycle a short distance when you are going for long trips to work or school. Then you can cover the rest of the journey by public transport. You could also do the vice versa by taking public transport for half the distance then cycling or walking the rest.
It also helps to live near your place of work or school. That way, you won’t have to pay for transportation daily. When you are near, you can just walk there.
