3. **Walking**: For a leisurely and eco-conscious mode of transportation, walking is ideal. It allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture, take in the sights, and engage with the community.

10. **Boats and Ferries**: In towns near water bodies, boats and ferries offer scenic transportation options. They provide a unique perspective of the town and its surroundings.

11. **Aerial Transportation**: Some towns have aerial trams or gondolas that offer breathtaking views and efficient transportation between elevated locations.

12. **Hiking Trails**: If your town is near natural landscapes, hiking trails can take you through picturesque routes, connecting various points of interest.
