No, but it usually is

No, it usually isn't.

Perhaps I should rephrase. For certain people the car usually is the best
solution. For a lot of people the car is usually a good solution. Most
people dont consider other options and just go for the car automatically.

For you and me, living in the middle of the heavenly public transport
system that is London - night busses, mass transit every few minutes etc.
Then the car is unneccersary for many journeys. For the majority of people
that dont live in London, the car is essential. I'd like to know how you
would get to your local station, 30 miles away, with 4 trains a day (none
on sundays), when the bus leaves at 7:30 and gets back at 20:00 on
tuesdays and Fridays, without using the car.
