Not to mention Pittsburgh has pretty decent public transit. Bus only roads, bus only lanes, light rail, etc.
Lived in Pittsburgh briefly and the buses were cheap and frequent enough that you'd get where you needed to pretty easily. Cabs were cheap as well if you didn't want to wait.
OP is looking to justify to himself keeping an expensive car that he doesn't need and can't afford.

Not to mention that public transit in Pittsburgh is actually pretty good. It has bus only roads, bus only lanes, light rail, etc. Pittsburgh has to be in the top 10th percentile for efficient public transit. Obviously this depends specifically on where OP lives but honestly transit in Pittsburgh is pretty good and ditching the car is an obvious no-brainer, he's just used to "needing" the car.

Also transit in Pittsburgh isn't bad unlike what OP claims especially if you are staying in the city proper.
