But does that mean they have no car?

For people living in the city proper, yes, it generally does. There's
no place to put a car without spending a lot on a garage, and
everything about a car is expensive, and public transportation is
superlative.

Here in the DC area MANY people
drive to the closest park and ride to be transported daily by public
transportation.

There's no comparison between public transit in DC and that in Paris.
