If there is no mass transit, is there a cheaper way to get to a train station than a cab? provided it is not?

Question

within walking distance, the person does not have a car, and they do not have any friends to take them?

Answer 1

How about a little motorscooter?

Answer 2

If it's just barely not in walkign distance, a bike is a good bet, and some decent exercise to boot.

Other than that, put up some flyers in the neighborhood and try to organize, or slip into an existing, carpool.  Most peopel would be happy to provide a ride in exchange for gas money, as long as they are heading that direction anyway.

Answer 3

a bicycle

Answer 4

Hitchhike.  Bike ride.

Answer 5

Lots of people use bikes.
