Oh: ride public transit. Notice that it runs on time, is fairly easy to understand, and is clean. There's a sky tram, a light rail, a streetcar, and an extensive bus system. Everything is free downtown in the fareless square.

Sadly, not anymore. "Free Rail Zone" is the Newspeak for Fareless Square. Buses now cost you.

To be fair, it was changed to "Free Rail Zone" after the addition of two new rail lines, and the buses now pass through downtown noticeably faster without the free passengers (or I may be imagining things).
