Is there a better alternative of transport?

Some estimates say that biking is 50 times more efficient than driving, and that the bike is one of the most energy-efficient transportation mechanisms devised by humans. Bikes also don't take a lot of resources to manufacture compared to cars, and they don't add pollution to the air or contribute to global warming.

Inadequate public transportation can also increase social isolation, particularly for older populations and people with disabilities or others who do not drive. This can increase the risk for early mortality, depression, and dementia.
