I never had a car the 4 years i was at the U of A (which probably saved me from becoming a beached whale... I already have way too many extra pounds but the amount i drank in college I'd probably have weighted 300 if it wasnt for walking 3 miles every day).

Outside of college town, everyone in Ireland seemed to have/use a car, but its so different there population wise compared to here (& nobody drives much when their ass is parked on a bar stool all day and night - er, well till "half twelve" when all the bars close) & I didnt spend enough time in Dublin and other large cities to really be able to answer this.

I lived in Christchurch, NZ (big city there - but nothing like US cities) & they had a GREAT bus system... but I only knew one person who used it LOL... everyone has and uses there car their and there are as many car dealerships in Christchurch as there are pubs in Ireland..
I lived in Mongolia once and used Yaks for transportation but they have since killed all of them because they were shooting too much Carbon dioxide out of their "tail pipes". The Mongolians are very concerned about global warming.
