Yes, I moved from a car-centric place to Stockholm and having a car here is a luxury (mostly because parking is prohibitively expensive) and most people don't.

Yes, I moved from a car-centric place to Stockholm and having a car here is a luxury (mostly because parking is prohibitively expensive) and most people don't. Helps that the public transport is really good, even people who own cars they often use it only during weekends. Supermarkets are present in pretty much every single station so you just stop by when commuting and make more frequent visits but buying less items on each visit.
People who live far away from metro/train stations (where parking is actually affordable, or free if they live in a house with a personal garage) usually just drive to the station and then board a train when commuting. Taking the train is faster than the car.
