Id say depends on your situation and where you live. I live in the suburbs outside of Washington D.C. having a car out here vs public transportation is a lot more convenient and in the long run is cheaper so it was kind of hard to pick one option. But if you weigh bus passes metro passes time on the bus round trips a car is cheaper in the long run.

College students maybe not so much because of tuition and cost of living and other school supplies. In the end for my situation having a car is cheaper in the long run but thats just for me.
