Public transit is excellent. One of the best I’ve used anywhere, perhaps better than Tokyo’s. Certainly better than London and NYC.

There’s also the bicing program, which is awesome. It’s a bike rental system where you pick up a bike and drop it off as you need it, for free up to an hour at a time I think. http://www.bicing.com
