I know many people that live in the bigger cities of America that don't have cars for the same reasons, cities like NY and San Francisco because it costs to much to park your car. When I worked in SF I would commute to Oakland then take the train into the city, from there everywhere I needed to go was on public transportation.
Here on the big island, I live so far off the beaten path, we do have bus service 3 times a day, I have a car, its 16 miles to the little village we live near, then another 20 to Hilo the nearest city of any size.
