I live in a city, with a public transport system, and it's terrible. Nobody but the poors bother with it as it takes HOURS longer than simply driving. This isn't hyperbole, it's actual trip times from actual trips taken.

Your public transit system and town planning suck. An easy litmus test: do your buses and trans have dedicated lanes and priority at intersections? If the answer is no, your public transit system isn't good enough and im something else is being given priority.
