I don't know about Waynesboro in particular, but in most US cities, public transport is between abysmal and non-existent. Add this to the fact that most cities are not as densely packed (as say Europe) and a penchant for suburban living, cars are quite important for commuting and to maintain a basic quality of life. It is a decent thumb rule that any working person or someone running errands will almost definitely need a car (eg: the nearest supermarket for grocery shopping might be about 5 miles away). So it is extremely common to see families have a couple of cars because the logistics would be very tough to manage with a single car.
