Good public transport does really help. I live in a big city with lots of it and I really love not needing a car anymore. Gone is the worry about damage, accidents, fines for missing a speed sign, whether I topped up the parking meter in time, costly repairs and insurance bills. Not to mention the stress of driving and all the wasted hours. I never thought of it as providing me with freedom, instead it felt like a necessary ball and chain. Now I can go where I please for peanuts with no worries and no constraints (eg always having to go back to where I parked). But public transport needs to be excellent and affordable for this to work.
