Now you can even bring your foldable bicycle onto public transport.
- Walk to work : Like cycling to work, walking or running to work also benefits the Earth and your body.
If you do have to burn some gas to get around,

If you do have to burn some gas to get around,
here are some tips on burning less:
- Control your throttle
using excessive throttle to accelerate really pumps a lot of fuel to be burnt off or worse not even burnt out the exhaust pipe! This control and change of style can save a lot of fuel and naturally $$$ nop matter what you drive or ride!

-Car Pool
Share your car with as many people as possible, spreading the load and thereby consuming less as a whole
-Scooter or motorcycle to work
Two wheelers burn a lot less fuel and are many times more efficient than 4 wheelers. They take-up less space and don't have to push as much air and weight around. Unless you fill up your car with 3 other passengers every time, there is unnecessary wastage! Most cars have only one passenger moving along on the way to work.
-Cars
-Smaller Cars
Drive a smaller car!
Try not to drive MPVs, SUVs, Sports Cars!
Big Cars all really do the same thing as the smaller more fuel efficient car in the city, they are heavier, less streamlined and have bigger engines that need more fuel to run.
-Hybrids
Try switching to a Hybrid car. It might seem expensive to purchase initially but the cost savings in terms of lower fuel running costs are amazing.
Excess weight
Not talking about your weight.... though the lighter you are, the less needs to be pushed around ;-)
Most cars have a lot of items being carried around all the time that is not immediately needed: Golf bags, books, Overnight clothes (? hmmmm), Roof racks, bike racks etc.
All this adds to the weight that your vehicle has to burn fuel to push around.
The racks : are additional wind resistance to the car, breaking the original car's design for wind streamlining.
