    Guess it depends on the city and how much you value your time. I live in a big city of 700k-750k people.

    For the fishmonger, it's a 10 min drive vs 1 hour bus ride.

    The closest Asian grocery store is a 6 min drive or 50 min bus ride.

    The bar that I go to is a 20 min drive or 1 hr 45 min bus ride.

    One of my coworkers does not have a car, so instead of a 15 min drive, they commute 1 hr 35 mins each way to work. That's a lot of hours used up on your work day.

    These are all one way within the same city, so it adds up when you calculate the return time as well. Unfortunately, a lot of US cities are driving centric. Jealous of places with great public transportation.
