Driving is fastest, but transit and cycling are alright
Edmonton has historically been a city that caters to motorists, above pedestrians and transit. Being that, driving is generally the fastest way to get around. With that said, many parts of the city are serviced by public transit and many parts of the city of perfectly walkable. Edmonton is a pretty sprawling city though, so be mindful of that when planning to get around.
