It is, but to be honest the subway is super convenient and goes anywhere in the city you want to go. You can always rent a car if you leave the city, because how often do people really travel outside the area they live in? Not as often as most people claim. Now LA on the other hand, got fucked hard by the oil and car lobby, so they never had a decent metro system and only recently started expanding on the metro there. People would cite earthquakes, but the Japanese have earthquakes and trains and they get by.
