That would be even better. But knowing how lazy/convenient people are, it will never happen

(I don't own a car myself and am doing just fine)

I think a lot of the convenience just has to do with what's availible and what's commonly done. There are cities where public transport is completely the norm (or cycling etc. are extremely common) but it has to be convenient, cheap, and availible.

In other words, the gov't has to invest first.
