FOr over twenty years, summer and winter, living in Roachester NY I took the bus as often as I could. I would buy a monthly bus pass. Drove the car less than 4k a year. Worked out fine. Time to read the paper, no worries about parking, lower insurance and actually less cost overall, considering metro parking fees and gas. Used a pool car for meetings and such. Cool!!
Out here in AZ, I actually drive even less. Everything I need is within a half mile or so and except for two months in the SUmmer when it is a tad warm, well within walking distance!!
If a public transit system is within ten minutes walk, a car is simply a convenience.
