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...

IMO, because of other regulations and taxes. Prague used to be mostly unregulated.
