So build the transit. It's cheaper than highways and doubly so when you factor in the private vehicle cost borne by users of those highways.

Electric rail transit is significantly more expensive than highways, and operational costs are really high if you're trying to offer frequent service on less trafficked routes.
Public transit is cost effective for urban cores and commuter rail routes to those urban cores, but everywhere else it's simply not economical.
