just a heads up, this method of polling won't account for people on instances without downvote turned on, like mine. hopefully we're statistically insignificant enough not to skew your results

I have three, I'm a car enthusiast. I want to enjoy my car without the entirety of society being required to own them to exist.

Even if the dream is achieved and taking my car is more expensive and slower than public transit (which it should be), I'd still drive most of the time because I actually enjoy it. I'd rather not share the road with people that also actually want to be there. It'd be a safer and more pleasant experience.

I have a car but I wish I had an alternative. In my city busses take so long I literally go faster by foot.

I might be wrong. But I think if cars were banned, we would have better public transportation.

We moved to a big city and went from two cars down to one. I'm working on convincing my other half to go to zero cars. We don't use it enough to justify the expense. An occasional road trip or big shopping run. We can easily (and far more cheaply) just rent a car when we want.

I don't have a car but I could afford one. It's getting more and more tempting to get one. My husband and I are our mid 30's and we all too often rely on friends and family for a lift. It feels likes like we're not so much car free as carless.

Got rid of my car a month ago, and I'm happier without it.

I do. If I didn't it would take me 3 hours to get to work by bus and I don't think I would be able to get a bus home. Assuming the busses are running which isn't a guarantee, or 2 hours by bike. If I had the stamina to bike for that long and not get murdered on the road.

Would move into the town but that is completely unaffordable.

I have a car, it's currently broken. I intend to sell it for scrap, but will likely need to get another one as my local infrastructure is not fit for purpose for anything but cars.

I'm currently car free although admittedly not by choice. I've wanted a world where you don't need a car for a long time and we need to make public transit better because I just waited an hour for a bus and that isn't fun.

One Prius Prime I share with my wife. I commute by bike and public transit but having a family car is still very handy and my wife uses it to commute.

I have a car because I need to. And that's the issue. 😁

We sold our house and car, moved to the city and bought a cargo bike instead. Its great! So much more relaxing and a good way for kids to experience the journeys we take. For longer occasional trips we either take the train or loan a car. (I live in Denmark, but not in Copenhagen)

Can't downvote from my instance so this types of posts don't really work on Lemmy. (I don't have a car)

Car was stolen, didn't bother getting another. I was only using it about once a week anyway.

Partner also doesn't own a car.

yeah and ive had to use it more lately because thE CITY WONT PAY ITS DRIVERS AND END THE TRANSIT STRIKE 😒

We don't own a car. Mostly rely on bike and public transport. Big German city. For holidays or weekend trips we often rent a car.

I grew up in a car-less household, so I'm used to walking or using public transport. I cycle to work and walk or use the bus or train for shopping. I only get a lift by car when visiting one of my relatives because it's three buses each way and the route there has too many twists and turns for me to feel confident cycling.

Sold my car more than 20 years ago.

After my Dad passed away, and I no longer needed it for looking after him or sorting out things after he passed. I sold my car. I cycle a lot, and prefer getting around by bike, and now I dont have all the expenses that come with owning a car. Especially when it doesnt get used and is sat there rotting away.

Live in the US. Went car free because my PoS car wasn't worth fixing over a year ago. Luckily I live very close to a busline and work is a 15 min walk so it's nbd for me. I save so much money not having one. Only problem I have is walking to work and almost getting hit by cars.

Mine got totaled about 6 years ago. I live in a city, so getting around with public transit, rideshares, street scooters, etc, isn't too bad. I can get where I need to get easily and cheaply enough. There's plenty of times where it's a burden not having one, but honestly 99/100 days, it doesn't bother me at all.

That said, I'd still love it if my city was more walkable, in general. If I wanna get somewhere by foot, my options are pretty limited.

Only my mother has one, and she needs it for work. And by work, I don't mean to take the road that can be taken by bus, but often to go to villages with little to no public transport.

I don't. Move to a city with very good public transport a year ago. It's really a blessing.

I have a car, but I don't want to. My work or any interesting shopping is about 6 miles away, mostly uphill on a highway in a very desert-like area so I couldn't comfortably bike, and the public transportation is practically nonexistent (and was recently cut to not run on the weekend at all).

I do take my bike most weekends when I can, though. It's been a great experience.

No car here

I drive mine maybe once or twice a month, I wish there was better train transportation to the places where I want to go (and there absolutely should be), but all the public transit around me is a clusterfuck nightmare.

Other than that it's bicycle or bus where the bus works.

I sold my car when I moved from a rural town to the city. I’ve been walking and taking public transit since. Although I have been carrying a GoPro lately when I walk. There doesn’t seem to be any traffic enforcement anywhere and just crossing the street has been extremely dangerous. Motorists are psychopaths.

I sold my car and moved to the city. I had an electric bike, but the bus rack caring it gave out and ran over it. So I'm -car -bike

My wife has one. She gets weird looks in the office since we only have one. Both of us have bikes, she also has a motorbike. Always the right tool for the job.

Never had a car, or even a driving license. Fuck cars.

Dont need one. Public transport is good in my city thankfully

I have a car, but for the first time in my life, I rarely need to rely on it. I recently moved just outside the downtown area of a small city. Although walking and active transit are not proiritized, in fact the sidewalks look apocalypitc in places, the desnity alone has allowed me to walk to the majority of my needs. My Nissan micra picks up the slack anywhere else, and in the winter, hauls more ice fishing gear than the average truck I see parked by the lake.

I live 400 meters from the grocery story and I have a hand cart to carry the groceries home. I have a motor scooter for travel to the nearest large town which I go to once a month.

We have 2 cars. I’m selling one the one that doesn’t work right now and the other car we need to get our family around in our small college town surrounded by rural farms.

I have a public transport card from work, a bicycle and take a train whenever I do need to go further. Once or twice a year tho, I do have to call a friend who has a car
