Don’t forget the main selling point of car traffic; it goes directly from my door to my exact destination, and …and this is the big one…i don’t have to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with, or listen to, or smell the cloying stink of neaeby random strangers for the entire trip. make public transport have that, as well as the punctuality and better last-mile coverage, and it will be a sure winner.
In competently designed cities, the doors are made to be a reasonable walking distance from transport stops and hubs.
On my bus this morning there were about 10-15 people, mix of parents with children, two elderly folks, students, young and middle aged adults with plenty of open seating since this is a local bus on a well used express route. The buses and stations are clean even if some users aren’t as well-kept, and if people playing Tiktok on speaker is too annoying you can tell them or listen to your own soundtrack with earbuds.
