As for mass transit, well, some countries just like 26-lane highways right through their cities. It is an ideological issue. Here in Europe I've seen a shift towards better public transport and cycling infrastructure, but that whole change will take time and won't be cheap.
Except that we are not really applying ourselves into either, are we? One would naively think we need to work on all viable ones, but of course, society does the exact opposite.
