Where does op says they are not adults?
My fiance is an adult and she doesn't have a driving license.
Because public transport allowed her to move without driving

I do not hold a driving license either, aged 29, but I am in the minority. I am also learning to drive this year, to stop burdening my friends and family members.
I have a driving license, I've been driving for 20 years, but I gave up on cars 3 years ago.
Now I use other means of transport, mainly the subway and my feet. I walk a lot, but I don't use a bike because
- I don't like biking when it rains and in Milan it rains a lot
- I don't mind the cars, but I avoid sharing the road with trams and their rails, and Milan has a lot of them
- I mostly go out at night and I think biking at night it's too dangerous, even if there were no cars around
- Milan is very flat, it makes it good for biking, but also for walking, which I prefer
There are a lot more bikes in Milan then in Rome, but the people that are biking to replace the car entirely are a small minority, they either live a few minutes away from their workplace, are students or use it as a way to do sports, not to commute
Finally, air quality is bad and biking make it much worse
One thing I noticed is electric scooters are having a boom because they are easier to drive, transport and are less messy (if you're a woman in a dress or a man in a suite biking can be very challenging)
