Americans prefer the convenience of owning cars and driving, at least they have for the past several generations though this may be changing.

If you go to cities like Chicago or New York City, many people do use public transport. I did when I lived in Chicago, generally hated it, but it was cheaper and faster than driving downtown for work in that situation. To get anywhere else in the city or suburbs it would be faster and more convenient to drive.

I have a commuter stop within 500ft of my apartment to ride in and out of NYC. I rarely use it because I can beat the train by driving, it's unreliable, I don't have to plan around the schedule, and it's cheaper to drive. On street parking is not a problem for the time and place that I go into the city.
