You'll never kill the gearhead, whether it's computers, bicycles, or cars.... people want their own things. Some people might like the idea of using 'public transportation cars' but not more than half of North Americans.

Buying a new car costs approximately $800-$1500 a month depending on car price, fuel costs, maintenance costs, tire prices, etc.
If a service existed that allowed you to get anywhere you wanted at the same convenience but was $350 a month, almost everyone would take it
