>>1914091Because cars are literally just faster than public transportation. You don't have to fit your time to a standardized schedule that makes stops for the other thousands of people who aren't you. You don't have to walk/take a bus/ride a bike/some-other-transportation to get to and from a station to where you were actually going. You don't have to do the same thing to go back home.
Literally the only time they are better are in the middle of tightly-packed urban shitholes, where parking lots and lots of cars don't make much sense because everything is close enough together than the time lost commuting is minimized to an acceptable level, on top of the distance traveled also being minimized due to again to density. Or, in some other kind of urban shithole like the megacity of Southern California, where there's 4 hours of commute traffic in the morning (due almost entirely to the outright refusal to expand the free way system, can't have FastTrak losing those billions of dollars it scrapes off tax payers, twice).
A car will never be faster than public transportation, except where it is simply not feasible to operate a car, or the places where government interference has made it unreasonably inefficient. That's why anti-car freaks are always screeching about shoving more and more people tighter and tighter into ever denser cities.
