Cities with transit typically have several different ways of getting around.

For my last job, som e choices were:

express bus plus walk a couple blocks
train and walk a mile
train to subway and walk a couple blocks
drive to subway and walk a couple blocks
train to subway to another subway into basement of my building

I’m not even counting scooter and bike share but I chose each of these options depending g on what was best at the time. But my most common choice was the train and walk a mile. It was a bit of a walk but I didn’t have to deal with people or waiting and it was close enough. But maybe you prefer walking less or like the scooter or bike shares: great, make the choice that’s best for you

Edit to add: for those unfamiliar with transit - every place will be different but I paid a monthly train pass based on my distance from the city. That pass included unlimited express buses, and unlimited subway rides within the city. So much freedom and convenience! One monthly fee let me go anywhere in the city, so much cheaper and easier than dealing with a car!
