It also depends on where you live, where I live we are pretty rural and while we can order almost everything on the internet now there are many things that we have to travel out of town to get or do. For my area cars of some sort are necessary.
The commuter train our last govoner was pushing through is, or was planned to stop here eventually when the line was to be extended through. However it has been having financial issues as it has not been bringing in the forcast revinue, and the operating costs have been higher than forcast. But even if it did come here there would be difficulties without a car due to the lack of local public transport.
When I was in the Air Force I went without a car for close to a year. It left me very dependant on others, and often limited what I could do on my off time.
Doing without a car may be easy in larger cities that can support public transport but many areas its not entirely practical for most people.
