[on_and_off]

yeah that's what I have been doing in Paris. Subway stations are rarely more than 5 minutes from where you want to go (with the caveats cited above)

But in cities like SF, the public transportation system is so underwhelming, I just use a last mile vehicle to do my 1.5 mile commute.

This way I go from 25 minutes to 10 minutes of commute.
