I think you live in a different Prague than I do, or you don't travel near the city centre often. When I tried to use trams in summer, they were full of people, so much I couldn't move, smelling and incredibly hot. I was very happy when my car finally got fixed. Yes, there are a lot of problems with driving (parking, one-way roads, ...), but it's much more comfortable, so much, that the discomfort caused by traffic is next to none.

Sometimes the trams are full, yes. And sometimes there is trafic on the roads.
It's not about traffic, it's about comfort. In car, I'm comfortable even when I'm stuck in a traffic jam.
Also, it takes 39 minutes to go to my office using public transit, and 18 by car, and that's the worst case.

It is only so fast, because the rest of us are in the tram though.
Nope. It's fast because the local government decided to support individual transport for once and built the tunnel complex.

LA has far more highways and roads. They support individual transport far more than Prague does. But they don't seem to be doing so well do they...
