This is what you'll get, if you consider public transport just a residual option for the "failures in life" (© M. Thatcher): not depending on personal transport becomes a privilege of those living in a walkable city in a suitable situation of life. (Consider yourself taxed, otherwise.)
(Disclosure: enjoying this kind of privileges, I ditched my car in the early 2000s, without regret. But I can see that this is only an option for a happy minority, nowadays.)
