I use public transportation every day

[Silverobama]

If I take the bus and the subway almost every day, is it natural to say "I use public transportation every day"?

Is it also natural to say "Using public transportation to get to work has become part of many people's lives"?

Yes.

Is it also natural to say "Using public transportation to get to work has become part of many people's lives"?

Yes, but as stated above, "public transport" is more common in BrE. You can check the ngram to confirm that.
