Because NYC and San Fran is an exception, try living in Seattle, Spokane, LA, Kansas city, Santa Fe with out a car, and you will feel the need of having one (btw: the cities that I've mension doesn't have good transit operation outside of DT)

其實西方唔係我地諗咁乜都渣車,
尤其是大城市d人出入city大部分都係搭火車地鐵,
有時屋企離車站遠咪渣車去車站轉火車地鐵 lor
haha, seattle, unless you never travel outside of the freeride zone (which is mostly commercial area, if you live in Bellevue, Redmond, and the south end, you will really wish u have a car, this is also why, Seattlite have been vote down public for the last 30 years, and prefer to build more roads)
For example, the Sounder communer train, there are only 8 services total in a day, compare to CA where they are like 1/2 hr per ride...this is why people drive their car and prefer to stuck in traffic, why do u think Sound Transit offer wireless in their buses, cause to lure ridership to ride on buses..)

其實美國用唔用公交返工好睇城市架
大的,例如 New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Boston (只限呢幾個)
如果你住 Downtown Area, 無車都無問題
但係如果你住在其他城市(尢其是 LA) ,又或者住 Suburb
