I'm assuming you're not in the US, let me paint a picture if I may? There are zones around most major cities. Inside most city centers, you can find buses that run on 2 hour intervals (ie. Work at 9a? You'd better be at the bus stop by 6a), if you're in NY, DC, or SF maybe a subway is available but this is an largely an outlier.
Beyond the city (but still in an urban area, think row homes, townhomes, duplexes etc) are miles and miles radius of city outskirts with zero public infrastructure, if you're lucky there may be a bus line that will take you into the city directly, but those only follow the main arterial road. At this point you're going to need a car.
Finally reaching more spacious suburbs and rural areas (ranch, cottage and split level homes, lots that have a yard) which of course have no public transportation. Living in America without a car is damn near impossible.
