Even if you're not expected to drive for your job, you will need to have some form of reliable transportation. If you take the bus or ride a bike, that works too! Merely share that you have the means to get to work consistently and on time. But don't feel a need to overindulge. Unless it is a job requirement to possess a car, it is illegal to ask if you have a car in a job interview. Asking if you have reliable transportation is permitted but is often a round-about way of getting you to volunteer if you have a car. Those who don't have a car might be prone to a variety of attendance issues, such as not effectively managing your time and missing your bus or your train, or blaming your attendance issues on your bus not stopping or your train running late. Not owning a car can lead to bias against hiring you. With this question, a simple yes will suffice.
