And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.
I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

I am 17 and don’t even have a driver’s license (I already could). However I don’t want that in the first place. I don’t feel comfortable about being in control of a heavy vehicle moving at relatively high speed. I know I’d drive over a pedestrian the first month because I got lost in my thoughts and completely forgot to pay attention to being in a damn car.
Or just fall asleep. Being in a train, bus, or even just playing a bus simulator on my phone immediately makes me sleepy. Sleeping driver is not a good driver.
Additionally there’s the high prices of gas to consider, low prices of bus transport, and for me as a student non-existent prices for trains.
Why pay extra to create additional traffic and kill people?
Even if you don’t plan on driving it’s still a decent idea to learn and get a license. You never know when you might need to apply those skills and it might even come in handy when applying for work.
You should learn to drive regardless; you never know when you’re going to be called on to drive a friend’s car or need to hire a vehicle to e.g. move house.
I’ve had to teach several people in their 20s to drive through lack of opportunity or willingness when they were younger.
A car is not a heavy vehicle. :)
You won’t.
Knowing how to drive doesn’t mean that you’ll immediately go out and buy a car, then start exclusively using it.
