Yep, you buy a ticket and go wherever the government allowed you to go by adding public transit there. Which still relies on the roads most of the time. There are a lot more more roads than buses. During 2020-2021 I wanted to explore green spaces just outside of London. Guess what, doing it without car is incredibly painful. I'd rather take 1h drive than 3h journey on 4 different buses that includes 1h total wait on different bus stops. But hey, I can be drunk on those buses! Once you go a tiny bit more rural than a million city, you start encountering "once an hour buses" and "there are only 3 buses a day here, only 2 on Sundays" situations. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that I don't need a car to go to a supermarket nor to meet a mate in a pub. But cars do provide a lot more independence.
