See there are some problems here.

I can't get to my doctor, or dentist, or grocery store, or pharmacy, or bowling alley, or friend's house, or closest pond, or my parents, or the airport without driving to each of those places.

The only way this gets solved is if there is a huge network of buses going to every neighborhood at tight intervals then each business Park and public attraction, etc at tight intervals. In a town of what 150k-200k?

Outside of metro areas, this doesn't work. At all.

Buses can go all of those places. A system of regional light rails in buses would probably work. Urban sprawl makes it difficult.
