Upvote if you don’t have a car,
Downvote if you do.
No I’m not farming karma, there’s no counter on Lemmy. This is the only way to run a poll.

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.
driving is the absolute only way to get around my city so i have to have a car to live. planning on moving to a walkable city as soon as possible
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, 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.
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.
Sold my car more than 20 years ago.
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.
was it a kia?
Close, it was a Hyundai. So same issues as the Kias.
Got rid of my car a month ago, and I’m happier without it.
Same here, I’m a true bus wanker now!
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.
Start with taxing cars wherever public transit is a reasonable alternative, then raise the rates annually, and pretty soon most cars will band themselves.
Just a pipe dream, of course…
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.
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.
I have one car, a prius that both my wife and I use
Would be practically impossible to not have one in our city, as everything is car-based, spread out over miles, and public transportation is nonexistent
We used to have 2 cars, but once I switched to remote work we sold the other
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)
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
Never had a car, or even a driving license. Fuck cars.
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.
