If you need an alternative mode to get to public transit, it has already lost the battle. I can walk to my car in 20 seconds. I can carry many items in its trunk, making it worthwhile to make multiple stops on my journey. Public transit is not meeting my use-cases.

No one was suggesting that.

Well the guy I was talking to was only worried about one or few trips per month, and we only need most people to use transit for the scenario to work.
