No one said public transport should do 100% of our transportation load. There will always be a need for point-to-point transport, especially of heavy goods, and that's fine. (My fridge was delivered by a commercial truck, ensuring that I did not have to provide a truck that I would subsequently drive around town getting 12MPG while I hauled nothing but my own a$$. Of course, I could have, and have in the past, rented a truck for the day... nothing wrong with that.)
It's the point-to-point transport of people that's gotten us into so much trouble, and needs to be curbed.
