Like mason said, public transportation in most cities. Bus rides anywhere on route for $1 usually, trains for $2. Compared to car loan, auto insurance, gas, maintenance, oil changes... public transportation is probably the most under-priced thing I can think of.

I may be wrong, but I thought public transportation was subsidized by state taxes.

HEAVILY subsidized by taxes.

In fact, I will go so far as to say that in several(many?) cities it would cost significantly less money to buy every single public transit user their own economy car/insurance than it does to have them ride the bus.

I know for a fact that this is true in Milwaukee where I live. But the problem is that most of the recipients of these free cars would sell them immediately for drugs/alcohol.
