I think a lot of people need a car, but a lot of people also think they need a car but don't actually need one.
We live in the Philly suburbs next to a light rail line and multiple bus stops.
To get to the now monthly doctors appointments in Philly, the options are either:
1. drive there in 30-35 minutes
2. 1.5-2 hours via public transit
It's no surprise even transit enthusiasts make the car choice.
