The real question you're asking is what percentage of people live in areas where public transportation isn't reasonable.

it's a lot larger than you think, especially if you're a city dweller.

Most Americans are city dwellers. It's not even close. And the trend has been consistently towards increased urbanization since the country's founding.

I'm not arguing we should ignore rural communities, just that we shouldn't rule out ideas that work in cities because they don't work outside cities.

most people are not disabled, and yet somehow catering to the disabled is written into law.

this is not an argument for why we should be ignoring EV's in lieu of transportation, which is what I originally responded to.
