I actually know people in RL who have tried to sincerely argue in favor of car-less cities. They own cars themselves, of course, but they also think we would all be better off relying completely on public transportation or whatever.
I'd love to live in a place where I could completely rely on public transportation that was as convenient and comfortable as my own vehicles.
Unfortunately, that place does not and will not ever exist unless I wanted to move to Japan or Korea.
I absolutely hate driving, due to putting up with obnoxious commutes for the past several years. But I also spent a good chunk of time unemployed and carless. I hated how restricting it was on my freedom. I got a lot of exercise, and it was a good experience for me overall, but I can't imagine going full time without a car.
Trains exist
Trams exist
Buses exist
Bikes exist
And lastly... Taxis exist
A civilized country is keen on that train and bike combo (see japan, see netherlands)
by civilized you mean mono-ethnic. people drive in "multi-cultural" societies and hate public transport because staying away from nogs, abos, pajeets, pakis, somalis, etc is absolutely worth the cost.
great examples with japan and netherlands, btw. proving my point
