4. non-free bus other route and less stops (£4/day)
5. bicycle rental (£0.18/min + 99p unlock)
6. e-scooter rental (£0.18/min + 99p unlock)
7. Uber (£10/day)
8. Drive (not much for fuel but to park legally around £10)

Bicycle seems like the best option with the sunk cost and proximity to home/office.

I did do a test of car ownership over 10 years / 150k miles and came up with this ...

all in it was about £0.30/mi or $0.39/mi
What does "it" represent in the last sentence? Is $0.39 your savings per mile or cost per mile of e-bike use, or cost per mile of use of your car, or something else?
