I'm not sure you really do.

I live in the UK and public transport is actually very unreliable. Cancellations and delays are frequent, strikes happen a dozen times a year, many services have an hour between trains... public transport will take you much linger to get anywhere and you'll be able to transport much less. The car has been a blessing when shopping.

This seems more a problem in how this specific public transport is run, than with public transport in general.

I think it's more general, trains have lots of single points of failure while there are normally many roads that can be used to get to a destination.

My experience in Germany is that the trains there are even worse. Every single one was delayed by up to half an hour.
