I wish it was possible not to own a car in the US. But our infrastructure is built so poorly that it is actually impossible.
I feel the same. Even in a state as populated as NJ the public transit system is mediocre unless you are going into NYC.
I only live about 6 miles from my job. If I rode my bike, I'd probably get killed on the road I'd have to take to get to work.
Yes awful public transportation...but "impossible"? Nahh. Still, could save alot of wear and tear getting and ebike for a portion of travel distance.
I was doing a 20 mile one way commute on an ebike in Austin before I moved and now work from home. Driving was still slightly faster but not being in traffic was worth it.
