Honestly this is a city/urban thing. It's simply not something that on a large scale people who live in the suburbs on in the country will want to do. My vehicle sits practically outside my door at work and in the garage at home. I like the fact that I can go spur of the minute anytime anywhere and don't have to summon the vehicle or do any planning.
I don't even think it's a city/urban thing - I live right in the middle of a city and walk to work but the car is for getting out of the city to walk/bike/ski and I can't see a glorified taxi working in those situations.
