When there's proper public transport in place, cars aren't needed. Trains for medium/long distances, busses for medium/short distances, bikes for short distances and a pair of feet for everything else. Beyond a certain network-density of other modes of transport, there are simply better alternatives to cars (in most cases). Cars by themselves are the most inefficient (cost, space, fuel, economically) and polluting mode of land-based transport we have. I know, it's a completely different thing in the US, which is full of car centric infrastructure and other modes of transport are either absent (passenger trains) or often impossible or outright dangerous due to the sheer danger caused by a lack of proper infrastructure for pedestrians/cyclists, public education/general behavior (road rage, drivers' education, ...) or even impossible to cover by bike due to the distances caused by urban sprawl/a lack of density due to zoning laws.
