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 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
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.
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 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 have two. One is exclusively for towing a camper. We keep the miles down on it (~5k miles after two years). The other handles everything else.
Before COVID, my partner worked from home and I biked/bussed. It was about an hour each way. Driving was only 20 minutes and parking was free, but I tried to bike as often as I could. Also sometimes traffic made driving a terrible 40-60 min slog.
Biking was mostly fine except for the pedestrians who would wander into an intersection with no walk signal glued to their phones completely incapable of hearing my bell through their headphones. I actually purchased one of those car horns right before COVID had me WFH and I’ve been doing that ever since.
So now we just drive for errands, restaurants, and weekly groceries. I’m working on moving groceries to a bike trailer, but my partner isn’t as much of a cyclist, so it’s been tough to get her to bike to restaurants.
