All of those alternatives are highly dependent on where you live. The comment that I responded to had to do with those picking ICE car drivers, as if there were non ICE car options. Here in America 99% of the time your options are car, or nothing. Public transport either doesn't exist or doesn't go where you need it to if it's even on time. Cycling is dangerous and mostly used as exercise, and walking the distance is just too far. Would I love to cycle to work? Absolutely. Am I willing to risk my life every day to do so? I don't think so. The choices you call on as obvious, are just not depending on location. Tell someone in Texas to try cycling, taking the bus, or walking to work and see what their reaction is. Tell someone in Japan and the reaction is much different.
