The city's are much like that my brother doesn't have a car these days just hires one (or get his work to) when he's going further afield. That said he lives in Sydney so everything is on his doorstep.
My mate who's a copper in Perth often whinges there's nothing going on but he's miserable bugger. Perhaps he needs to get himself a ride on Hairdryer and join Boltys old man Quadrophenia recreation club.
