A Car Society
I got my drivers license five years ago, but I’ve never driven after that. The license is just useful as an identification. That’s why that I tried to obtain it. My university is in Tokyo, which is rich in public transportations, so there was no need to use cars.
Currently, I’m spending country life in my hometown, an automobile society, where non-drivers have to rely on busses or bicycles to go shopping.
The office, I’m to work for from April, is located in Tokyo, so I find it wasteful to buy a car.
It’s inconvenient to live here for the time being.

Japan's Car Society
I got my driver’s license five years ago, but I have never driven after that. The license is just useful as my primary identification, so that is the main reason I obtained it. My university is in Tokyo, a cosmopolitan city that is rich in public transportation, so there was no real need to use or own a car. Currently, however, I am living a simple country life in my hometown, which is still an automobile-reliant location, one where those who do not drive have to rely on buses or bicycles to go shopping, as well as to travel far to do so. As a result, I think it to be rather pointless to buy my own car, as the office I will be working out of starting in April is located in Tokyo. Still, it is somewhat both inconvenient and irritating to be living here now, outside of Tokyo, for the time being.*
Hi. Takuya. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your ideas with full sentences, and for ease of reading. Sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you. J.
*Not only did you try to obtain your driver’s license, but also you did, if fact, obtain it. Thus, once you did that, there is no real need to mention about the effort unless that, too, is the subject of your writing. The phrase “public transportation” is both singular and plural, and includes all forms of it, thus, no need to add “s” to it.
There is certainly nothing wrong with using contractions in personal matters, but given that this is a learning website, where others will learn formal English, and possibly submit their paperwork in academic or a business setting, it is better for others not to see or use them, which is the sole reasoning behind my changes to them.
