Private transports are efficient at delivering individuals to locations. Public transport has the advantage of delivering a lot of people to an approximation of their destination. The latter enables more urban density and more efficient cities overall.

There's nothing preventing "flying cars" of delivering a lot of people to various locations. 3D space is quite large.

"Private transports are efficient at delivering individuals to locations"

Not all locations though - I wouldn't dream of driving to work in central Edinburgh as the drive would be a pain, take longer and the parking would be more expensive than getting the train.
