I feel a better answer to this overall is making public transportation more common and readily available, more convenient

The cost of a vehicle, insurance, maintenance, fuel, etc. is something I feel more people could do without in our economy. By using public transportation, we would be lowering our carbon footprint. Where I live, public transportation is not well thought out and not very effective. I strongly feel this needs to improve. If it wasn't for my want to travel, I wouldn't even think of purchasing a car, which I don't currently have. If travelling was easier without a vehicle I still wouldn't consider it honestly.
