In cities that have a good public transport system, people can easily grow up with the notion that owning a car simply isn't necessary.

Assuming you never what to leave the city.

Or mostly only visit similar cities.

Or am willing to rent a car when I do.

You still need to have a driver's license to do that.

No, I'm a student living in Berlin and I have no car but a driven license.

Airplanes and trains are decent possibilities to leave the city. Even carpooling provides a nice way to leave the city.
