Your thoughts are right on. If you want to travel to the countryside rent a car otherwise train, bus, metro and of course walking are the best

I also am curious about transportation- we have a dog (like you), and we love to take her places with us, which here in the US, usually means in the car to the beach, a trail, or even a friend’s house a town over. Or to the vet. I know it’s still early days for you, but I would love to hear more about transportation paired with pet ownership when one doesn’t own a car.

Great question! We are still working this out. We have found some Uber drivers that didn't want to take us to the vet. We have also heard/read conflicting messages regarding public transportation. But once the lockdown is lifted, we will do our best to get you an answer.

I am so excited to hear this. We can't wait to get rid of our cars. They are so expensive to have, and we look forward to reducing our carbon footprint. Have you seen any plug-in (electric) cars for rent?

I am not sure, but I am pleased to report that there are electric plug-in locations along the street. You can also rent an electric bike or scooter on the Bolt application for only 10Euros for a full day, or by the week or month. For only 39Euros you can rent one for the month, using them for up to 45 minutes a day. Pick it up where you need it...drop it off when it is done. I will be providing more details once it warms up a bit and we take advantage of this option!

We are anxious for the day we can summon an driverless car as needed!
