Only an anecdote from my life, not wanting to prove that you're wrong or something like that: My family has never owned a car (mother is the only one who even has a license) and in the part of the world where I grew up (Switzerland) that was no problem. I make extensive use of the public transport here as I own a GA, a general subscription which is valid for almost the whole of Switzerland (exceptions are mostly ship lines and mountain railways). For me it feels quite weird to travel by car because I am so used to take the train or bus. Maybe I'll learn it someday but for now I have zero need to do so.
