Like, to live in Honolulu and just enjoy it's amenities throughout the city, is it necessary to own a car? Don't worry about the whole island, I'm just curious about the city itself. Thanks a lot.
Many in Hono have cars, traffic suffers because of it- there is a great public transit system though so you certainly do not *need* one. As far as car-obsessed, I would say it is much less so than most cities, people generally drive cars for efficiency- fuel and parking efficiency, rather than status. That isn't to say you won't see BMWs, but I think it's more common to see little hondas than BMWs.

thanks for the quick response. i just read a few minutes ago Hono has a great bus system. good to know. thanks again man.
Owning a car is not necessary. The bus system is a great way to get around town. I rarely use it though cause I live 10 minutes walking distance from work. Riding a bike or using a moped is also a great alternative. I sometimes ride my bike around at night as it is a great form of exercise and very refreshing. I don't own a moped(is looking for a good one at the moment) but seeing how lax the law is towards them and how many people are using them I would say they are a good investment.
