Its not irrelevant. But driving becomes better the less people are taking cars. So, even for people who would never take public transport or something like that, its beneficial to invest in it.

Being able to take a car is a freedom, HAVING to take one isn't.

I was a spoiled programmer working for Apple in the Bay Area when they (following Google's lead) offered buses for employees.

For several years (until Covid) I took the bus back and forth to work every day. So awesome.
