Burger here, I've been living in Yurp for a while now but still haven't made it to the UK. As a 'mercan I take it with a grain of salt when Euros tell me transit is "bad" anywhere, but I do hear its supposed to be "bad" outside of London.

Do you guys own cars? Is owning a car necessary to live where you are?

Depends on where you need to get to, and how much money you have. Intercity trains are "ok" but can cost an arm and a leg. Bus quality is super variable throughout the country. But if your used to USA you will be surprised at how many places you can walk to.
