It's understandable that you're having a hard time imagining it because you live in a car-centric society, but "most of the world" is objectively wrong here.
There are roughly 1.4bn cars in the world for 7.8bn people... so most people get around without one.
You can see it if you travel a bit, in India and China you'll see families getting around on bikes and scooters. Over 1/3 of the Dutch use a bike as their primary means of transportation. People often cite weather as a reason not to, but if the Finnish can regularly use bikes to get around (another European country with high bike use)... nearly anyone can.
