Not sure about others, but here in Jackson MS you have to have a car or know someone who does. The city is too small to have a large public transportation infrastructure (we have one bus route and just a handful of taxis) but everything is spread out so you have to drive pretty much every where you go. We do have Uber but only in the downtown/metro area.
