    the gap doesn’t seem massive, couldn’t this just be importance of owning a car by “stage of life?” obviously people with kids, jobs, no knees etc… need cars more than uni students.

      Or, just affordability?

      Things just cost a lot more nowadays, and if you’re young it’s unlikely you’re earning much. Hell, it’s also possible that their parents missed the boat on salaries rivalling house prices.

      Honestly geography seems to be the most important factor, rather than generation.

        Is it really the geography, or is it availability/proximity to public transit?

          You have said much better what I was lazily leaving to inference. Yes, it is access to public transit.
