Nobody ever said that independence was free, did they? Rail service isn't free either. When I get there, what do I do for a car to drive around when I need to? I rent one. Even if I don't need one, I have to give up my independence and get into public transport and might have to share a small area with someone I'd rather not be next to. It will be a trade off. I happen to think that the car is a much smaller trade off to give me my independence instead of having to rely on someone else.
