Come on. I know my living situation and that of others, and there's no conceivable public transit system that would cause me to stop owning a car.

And I might do that too if I had a commute like that, but even in that case I'd still keep a private car for other trips.
- orwin 4y agoOk, i get that. I'd rather rent or borrow a car when i need one (some weekends, for a road trip...). My point was that city density isn't really needed to go full public transit. I lived 5 years in a city with a density of 304 hab./km2 (twice that in summer), without a car. I used the bus when i did not felt like riding my bike, and the train for large distances. Now i'm in a city with 2.2k hab./km2, and yes, it is easier, but you don't need that much density to go full public transport.
