@straphanger @ishmael FWIW, Tokyo scores highly on this. I haven't had a car in all the time I've been here. I initially had an international license and meant to get it converted but missed the deadline, so I don't have one even now but many years have passed and it's been no problem. With covid I'd rather not rely on shared public transport but taxis exist. If I had a license and wanted to drive outside the city, a lot of stations have car rental outlets nearby (and there's good trains, too).
