Public transportation? Bicycle? I cycled 25 Km's (say, 16 miles?) to and from work every day. Took me ~45 minutes or so. Super Healthy, super nice.
You have to already be healthy to do that, though. It's pretty hard to ride a bike when you weigh 200+ pounds.
200+ pounds? I'm 170 and can bike 20 kms easy. My 70 year old mother can ride 50 kms without breaking a sweat.
It's something you get used to fast.
