It might not be "I went from driving everywhere to Lyfting everywhere". It could be "I went from driving everywhere to mixing Lyft+bus". Or "I went from driving+bus everywhere" to Lyft+bus everywhere". There are probably plenty of people who would be down to take the bus (or bike) to/from work, but keep a car around for a couple longer trips a week, or for inclement weather. AAA found average car ownership cost was over $8000/year[0]. This is pushed up by people who buy cars new, so you can certainly be lower, but that's apparently the average. We've been talking about this a fair bit at my mostly-college student house lately. I think a number people in the house would get rid of their car if they had to pay just for their own insurance--it would certainly be cheaper for a good number of them based on their current usage. But their parents pay, so we end up with an overflowing driveway. [0] http://newsroom.aaa.com/auto/your-driving-costs/ http://newsroom.aaa.com/auto/your-driving-costs/
