And depending on the scooter, the emissions can be worse than cars... think 2-strokes.
But I use all 3 pretty much equally.... well, if I don't need to I'd rather not drive the car but that's not always an option.
+1 except I got rid of the car. Now all I have is a 250cc automatic motorcycle that looks like an oversize scooter and several bicycles. 2-stroke motorcycles and scooters were banned from domestic manufacture and importation Jan. 1 2006. I live in Alabama so riding the motorcycle year round is no big deal. We actually enjoy a few rare days of below freezing temps to kill off the bugs so there not so bad the other three seasons. My motorcycle has a wind screen and as it uses scooter styling I stay dry except when stopped so a simple rain suit on rain days works just fine to keep me dry and when properly dressed for winter riding I stay warm as well.
