I wish there were a good answer for this other than give her a time limit to get a license before you will no longer drive her everywhere. I have a brother with a daughter 22 that won't drive. Now her baby sister is turning 16 and can't wait. They hope she'll be embarrassed enough to get hers at the same time.

Your daughter is an adult. If she chooses not to learn to drive, you can not force her to learn. However, you can
decide not to be her chauffeur. I would present her with a bus schedule and maybe some taxi numbers.
I have to admit that I do not understand why she would not want to drive.

Why should your daughter have to learn to drive? (Unless there's no public transport where you live).
But also- why should you have to be her chauffeur? It's nice to give your daughter the occasional lift, but if it's a regular thing, no way Jose.

Bus pass. and a list of taxi cab companies. Thats about all you can do. Oh also buy her a good Swin. After a while she will get the idea that maybe having a car is a good idea. as most public transportation systems stop running after midnight and don't start again until 5 in the morning. Cabs often charge 2.50 just to drop the flag and can run as much as 40 dollars to run you across town.

All of your responses correlate one to another, my advice is the same.
Quit being her ride, and after a few times of not going where and when she wants to go, she will see the need for independence.
I would not buy her anything as others have suggested.
(bike or bus pass)
Let her buy what mode she wishes to utilize.
If she is simply lazy, then in time, she will figure out that she needs to grow up.
(Her other option is to marry into an amish family)

Nothing, it isn't your business if she doesn't want to drive. It also isn't your job to be a permanent chauffeur. Not saying you never give her a ride again, but you need to be unavailable occasionally, she can take a cab or the bus.

If she does not want to learn to drive, that is her right. If you do not want to drive her around, that is your right. Tell her that as of "X" date, she will have to find her own transportation because "Mom's Taxi Service" is going out of business.
She is old enough to take responsibility for her choices! If she does not was to drive, she will need to find other ways of getting around!

Stop being her chauffeur. Buy her a bicycle and a monthly bus pass.

Either tell her that you will charge her every time you drive her somewhere or make her take public transportation.
She'll learn pretty quickly to appreciate the convenience of having a car.

Respect her wishes and buy her her first bike or bus pass. Just because she doesn't want to drive, you don't have to drive her. Think of the savings in insurance and gas money, not to mention safety and environmental protection! Look at the positives.
