In general, no, but generalizing can miss important local markets. I live in London and trains and busses do me fine. I honestly can't remember the last time I got into a car here; certainly years rather than months.

Big-city issues like parking and congestion charging can tip the scales quite a bit, with much better public transport than the rest of the country to compensate.

Trains also do not have to completely supplant cars to make a difference. If people take the train to work and use their cars to run errands around town it's still an improvement over driving everywhere.
