Here in the UK roughly 16% (not far off 10 million people) live outside towns and cities where public transport is next to non-existent. Roads are frequently without pavements so no walking and being single lane, incredibly dangerous for cyclists. I'm one of those near 10 million. The nearest supermarket is six miles away, as is the Doctors and the nearest hospital is 8 miles. For people like myself, a car is the only practical method of transport.
Before this I lived in London where a bus stop was 2 minutes walk away and a tube train just ten minutes. Bot outside London and cities that have trams like Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester, public transport is just not to be found.
