I think Arthur makes a comment about some wizards not bothering with 
Apparition, as it can be tricky to do (this is when he starts talking 
about the pair that went and splinched themselves).  I would suppose 
that those with underage children would need other methods, but I 
doubt they use muggle means very much; when the Weasley's travel they 
often use the Floo Network, and somewhere we've seen an advert for a 
family-sized broomstick.  (I hear American wizards are working on an 
SUV-broom with seats that fold down and lots of storage space in the 
handle lol)

Further evidence that not everyone in the wizarding world apparates 
is the fact that the MoM has a double row of fireplaces for Floo-
ing.  I would imagine that yes, apparition is on par with driving, 
and using Floo powder more along the lines of taking public transit.

There's also the Knight Bus....
