-Walking on Mars should be possible, and less hard on the knees.  Some adjustment will be required as inertia will remain the same but weight will go down, so cornering at high speeds will take new skills.  Good planning should prevent some of the errors of recent urbanism while promoting the good points of walkable cities and communities<ref>Car free cities- http://www.carfree.com/</ref>.

 *The lower gravity of Mars modifies the walking gait past certain velocities(reference).

 *The use of individual vehicle called up by cell phones (Uber) and self driving vehicles may offer an extremely flexible solution to the question of transit on Mars.
 *The ownership of the vehicles, the cost of the transit system infrastructure, the maintenance and safety of individual vehicles are all issue to be addressed both on Earth and on Mars.
