I dunno about public transportation as I live in a town with one bus, no taxi service, and pretty sketchy Uber service. I would caution you to choose your city only after contacting their town hall to be sure you will be able to find ways to get around. I have never, since age 16, been without a car. Some were pretty crappy for sure, lol. But I think a car is an absolute necessity.🚗🚗🚗
