Wait, we…do…have public transport. Effective and useful public transport. In NYC 60% of people commute with it. Boston, DC, SF, Chicago, Philadelphia… You might have a specific gripe because it doesn’t take you exactly where you want to go with exactly the comfort you think you need, but these places have public transit that is good enough for hundreds of thousands or even millions to use every day

Having lived in a few of those cities, I’d say NYC is very much the exception. It’d be great if every major city’s public transit was as good, but it’s inadequate or barely adequate for a large percentage of the area of those other cities.
