Good and appropriate SPENDING is far more rewarding that saving. Why? What do you have if you save? Money, right? And what can you do with money except to spend it? And what do you get when you spend it if not all kinds of good travel things that money can buy.

So, I go for wise spending rather than saving.

I personally prefer public transport over personal vehicles, and the main reason is I don't have to worry about where to park it or what to do with it when it's broken.

indeed, we can go everywhere and do everything without thinking about our cars and vehicles .

Yeah, apart from being freed from thinking about about how to refuel our vehicles, we don't have to worry about how to fix them if they've accidentally broken during our trip.

Well it depends in the state of your country. I know you are looking for money saving tips but in my country public transportation is so bad that you might as well give up “saving money” because in the process of saving money you are losing much time and physical energy. Even mental sometimes.

Although public transportation is definitely cheaper as with personal vehicle, gas is way too expensive nowadays due to inflation.

I really do enjoy taking public transportation when I can do it. I do like to save my money and it is cheaper for me to do this then for me to fill up my gas tank.
But if I am going somewhere with my family or my friends I will take my personal car. It is only so we can all be more comfortable if it is a long ride.

if you are going solo or just 2 persons? then better to public transport as you can minimize the gas expenses .

but if you are going with groups then best to personal vehicles as you can maximize the use of the car and yeah comfort of where you are going .

For myself I'd choose a personal vihicule, the term if safety, i think everyone trusts only himself in traveling,
Not just the safety but also being satisfied, for me i hate public transport, i hate waiting for the bus, i prefer travel with my own vihicule, take a rest anywhere and anytime i want.

For me, commuting or using public transport is much cheaper than having personal vehicles. In public transport, you are just paying for the fare from point A to point B, and that's it; no more worries for you. On the other hand, having a personal vehicle will cost you, of course, the initial cost of buying the vehicle, whether it is a motorcycle or a car. A personal vehicle can cost you fuel too since you are the one that is using it. You are obligated to fuel your vehicle. Also, since you are using it frequently, it should have maintenance and repairs. We don't know if there are hidden or unexpected things that need to be fixed. Another thing is insurance. Of course, if you buy a car, it is covered by insurance. The last thing that vehicle owners need to know is the parking fee. Since it is a private vehicle, you need to pay for the parking.

Hmm it would depend on how much you are going to travel
and for how far. If it requires you to be in another city, I think
it would be best if you just took personal vehicle but if it doesn’t
then a few minutes on public transportation wouldn’t hurt you nor
your wallet.

using public transportation is clearly cheaper than using a private vehicle. for example in my city, when you use the busway, mrt, and commuter, you will get an immediate discount and it's less than 1.5 usd for a distance of several tens of kilometers. whereas when you use a private vehicle, you need to pay for petrol, maintenance costs, taxes and insurance, and that makes the cost of using a private vehicle much more expensive. and because of this, many people use public transportation to go to work, school, or other things, because it is much cheaper and faster.

I don't know about you or your country and your transportation system but for my own country public transportation is more preferable than private vehicle because the use of petrol on vehicle is becoming expensive this days. Like now if you want to travel from your state to another state, it takes you maybe a lesser value compared to when you fuel your car. Or when you fuel your car to take your children to school. But the only advantage about person vehicle is privacy and respect. With your car you can move at any time and decide to come back anytime even when it's late at night.but in public transportation system it doesn't give you the privileged.

In Japan most employed are using trains as transport for saving and efficiency , but this is changing when you are travelling with a group that which more cheaper when you are using car and providing your own gas for travel.
this is what I am doing when commuting and when using my car for travelling .

in my area the traffic is killing me going to office so i prefer riding Train but it is also harder to go in train station as it was few kilometer from my place so i am Riding my Ebike and leaving to the train terminal so when i am off to office i will also ride train and ebike to go home,same old ways everyday and it made me saves more money than driving my car to office.

Indeed, a bicycle is a personal vehicle, which happens to save fuel and it even improves your health as long as the other motorists respect you...

Luckily in our country/city there is a Bike Lane that has a enforcer that is capturing those motorists that try to use our Bike lanes.

Quote

Unfortunately not all places have a bicycle friendly culture, but if you happen to live in a place that does, you should use it. I have never used an electric assisted one, but i can imagine those would help certain groups of people.

exactly , I even use my Bike traveling long ride, yes i travel to province using only Bike.

Quote

In some places public transport makes sense, especially if the stops/stations are close to your from / to destination. But, if you could, say, work from home, that would also save a lot...

I used to , but having a health issue I completely maximizing the help of Bicycle , so now I prefer biking more than motorize vehicles .

if you will go directly to a place then it is more cheaper to ride public transport because you will go directly to your location.
but the problem is if you are going here and there, the stop over will take your long time .

Public transport always wins , you dont have to pay tax, gas price , insurance , maintance. You just pay for a card and you use it form point A - point B , if you only travel in the city you dont need a car. If you have work outside it you can get one, that way you dont wait on trains , buses

Cost and convenience are the main reasons for transportation in our current structure most countries favor private transport because it has a high positive rating for three main reasons with your own car you can be willing to do whatever you want with the limited cost of fuel toll and parking fees and convenience and it's very convenient to choose where you want to travel at any time. Public transport scores low for these reasons the big cities do not have adequate public transport and that forces us to endure crowded buses and metros.

Public transport is the cost effective thing for sure but do you really considered the money saved for public transport usage over your personal vehicles?

It will be only few dollars or hundred I guess but with personal vehicle you can save your time which is more expensive than any thing so if you know how to use your time productively then public transportation is good to go.

When compare both the public and personal transport the expenses are same but in our personal vehicle we can do more comfort more than the public services that's why I think personal vehicles are more efficiency and cost savings for everyone.

What I've learned during this covid19 times is that it's always comfortable to own a car.

When you travel and there's this pandemic, you don't have to come along with other passengers in public transportation. So if someone with anxiety and fearing the contact of the virus, you have the safest and most comfortable travel.

And that is when you're driving in your own car.

As far as i know, it will be difficult to travel with a bicycle or by trekking/jogging and traveling with a horse is not a common practice in these days. So from your list of options, the cheapest transportation means is the public transportation system.
