I see this scenario happening in cities. But, even sticking to Germany, I don't see this happening in areas like rural Saxony, the Oberpfalz, etc. Too rural. This scenario gets even more difficult when you talk about the US or even the UK and Ireland, large chunks of rural land w/o the density to support something like this -- same problem rail has had in the US.

Over 50% of the world's population lives in cities (and rising). Sure it won't be for everyone but the trend in certainly going in that direction. On the other hand if you have the money and will I'm sure you will still be able to buy your own car.
