In Canada, I usually get a ride, unless to a neighboring friend's house.

In Hong Kong, I usually take the MTR (subway), unless it's to my dad's office, because he uses the "company vehicle".

If I lived in Canada, I would use a combination of both. It is simply uneconomical to have buses go through all the interior roads because it would take much too long to get to a destination approximately 10 km away. And using an electric car all the way would also be costly as well, as a result of your reasons. Instead, I would drive to the nearest arterial road for a nice Bus Rapid Transit ride to my destination, which probably makes much more sense.

If I was in a small city-state like Hong Kong and Singapore, I would take public transit without doubt. It is faster and cheaper in those places because you don't need to weave around the streets unlike going by car. The stations are much more spacious and welcoming (unlike the trashed up TTC ones), and itself is a nice attraction. And plus, you can't be that far away from a station, and you're most likely walking in air-conditioned venues there anyhow.
