Car use in UK cities is in decline, and young people do not aspire to car ownership. I've always thought that this was about insurance costs, but, then again, the minority of young people who do drive seem to be not especially wealthy. Perhaps there's something in this Grauniad article

I do think, that, for whatever reason, cars are seen as 'old people', although it's surprising how often the 'old people' get pressed in to service for lifts. The late teenagers that I know don't drive and don't seek to drive because public transport and taxis are there to do the job without the commitment that cars require.
