AutoExec Summary
Australia has a sparse population with a large land mass shared by just 26 million people. The country has a driving culture with the number of cars registered rivalling the total population. The availability of public transport varies across different areas, with some commenting on the difficulty of living without a car, especially for families. While larger cities like Sydney offer better public transport options, living in rural areas or smaller towns may necessitate owning a car. As housing costs rise, living further away from public transport hubs may make living without a car more challenging. The Urban Mobility Readiness Index ranked Sydney and Melbourne among the top cities for urban mobility. Overall, the possibility of living in Australia without a car depends heavily on access to public transport.
