Finally found a solution
So I had to start driving again six months ago when my infant daughter started daycare, because of needing to be able to pick her up and just because of schedule as my work commute is about twenty miles. My truck just broke down and I managed to find a bike and bus and train route that gets me to the train station close to her daycare in reasonable time where I can grab my wifes car from the parking lot, pick her up, then get back to the station and pick my wife up.
It's not exactly car free but at least I managed to find a way to avoid having to be tethered to my gas guzzling ford f150 on a daily basis. I guess sometimes you have to be forced into finding creative solutions.
