In general, most people still drive. However, especially in the parts of the city close to the Lakefront, a large percentage walk, bike or take public transportation. We have subway system that is elevated in parts, and a large bus system as well. There is also the second-largest commuter rail system in the U.S. (after New York) serving mostly downtown during rush hour, but with some service every day of the week.
While most Chicagoans do have a car, close to 30% of households in the City of Chicago proper live car-free - about half of those by choice and not because of economic necessity.
For places outside of Chicago, we have two international airport, Amtrak train service and several different private interstate bus companies serving Chicago.
