In my hometown, driving a car is definitely the most popular mode of transportation. Most people own their own vehicles, primarily due to the flexibility and comfort it offers. However, in certain situations, people will opt for public transportation like buses, rickshaws, and taxis. This is especially true when parking is limited or for shorter distances. So while car ownership is common, public transportation plays a significant role in the city's transportation system.
