I wouldn't be surprised if it's the opposite -- public transit is much better in Europe and Japan and used for most daily commutes that in America would be by car, so cars are reserved for longer journeys.
- adrianN 4y agoWhile public transit is a lot better than in the US, a very large fraction of all commutes is still by car. Even in big cities like Berlin a quarter of the commutes is by car. In even slightly rural regions, it's a lot closer to 100%.
