I have a relative who gave up his car years ago... He loves it... He lives almost in the inner city Sydney Australia. He travels by bus (they operate 24 hours in the inner city) which only takes 15 minutes as opposed to a car which would take a lot longer especially having to find parking etc....
He trains it everywhere else and hires a car if he needs to go to places with little or no transport - He says it's cheaper than maintaining and running a car and a lot less stressful than trying to forever be finding parking spots which can be costly in the inner city....
He travels the world fair regulary and at this moment is living in New york for 3 months while on an extended holiday from work...
Says he wouldn't ever go back to owning a car....
I don't know what I would do without a car. I have a severe case of motion sickness and therefore cannot use public transit. I don't make enough money to take taxis everywhere I need to go. I think I would really feel trapped and dependent on others without my own car.
