  Idk what the other dude is talking about. It definitely exists some places.

    Live in Stockholm, don’t have a car, can get around fine. Still want a car, but not for the city.

        Yeah, I don’t know how anyone survives there without one.

      55% of trips in Sweden are cars. I’d call that the default.

        Sweden is a huge country, I drove 6 hours down to Malmö recently, and lots of people live on the outskirts where train and bus services are slower and more spotty. But if you live in the cities here, you don’t need a car.

  Yes.

  Barcelona resident here. I pay 22€ for an unlimited month transit pass (that’s a discounted price that will probably go up). I can ride any underground, bus or commuter train inside the metropolitan area. I own a car to go outside the urban zone but I barely use it.

  When I have to use my car in town (because I’m going to buy something that cannot be carried easily otherwise) I recall how much driving in the city sucks.

  I’m actually thinking about sellling my car and using a rental service if I want to take a road trip.

  Things exist only theoretically if they’re outside the only real country, the US.
