Suburbs don't need to be car-dependent. The suburban appeal in fact has nothing to do with cars.
In Germany as just one example, there was (when I lived there) excellent, reliable bus service in and between suburbs. And connecting the suburbs to light rail, which connected to the city center.
The big complaint I had in my 20s was that the light rail stopped running before midnight.
