It depends on where you live and what your qualifications and experiences are. If you live in or near a big town you will be able to get to workplaces by public transport, cycling or even by walking.
I live in London, and most people I know get to work by public transport. And some of us work really close to home, so we can walk or cycle.
Think about the kind of work that you're qualified to do and would like to do. Then see if there are any opportunities near to you or within easy access of public transport.
Before I started driving, I got jobs that were close to a bus line so there wouldn't be a lot of walking, especially when the weather was bad. In the summer, I was able to get jobs that were a little bit further away from the bus line since I wouldn't have to worry about snow and ice. Most of the jobs that are out there just require you to find a way to get there. Sure, it sometimes takes longer to take public transportation than to drive, but you can read, do your homework, etc. during the ride so it isn't lost time.
One would need to live near public transportation or in a climate that allows for riding a bicycle to work, or close enough to walk.

Should there be separate seating for men and women in public transport?Is it a good idea to prohibit one from sitting next or adjacent to opposite gender on public transport? Should there be designated seats for women-only on public transport?
