Sure. Driver's licence, insurance, maintenance of a used car, and endless payments for gas. It saves a ton of money to own a car, sure.

I live in Canada and come from a rural town with no public transit. I moved to a bigger city with public transit. As a bonus it also has a superior bike network compared to other cities of the region. And I'm very glad not to have to pay for tires, to store the winter tires somewhere, oil changes, parking fees, parking tickets, and unexpected issues.

You know what saves more money than an old car? Not having any car at all.
