Me, too. In my 30 years of works across numerous metro areas, I've been able to commute by train, bus, bike, or walk for 25 out of 30 of those years. Most people I worked with likewise could do it without a car. Some people chose to drive, but it was not at all a requirement.

In any given moment in the US, I know people who live inside major cities, inside metro areas and in rural areas.

Of that group, the number of working folks w/ little to no work-related driving time is very small.
