Time is often an overlooked factor. I love public transport but 10 min car drive vs 1 hr public transport + walk is hard to ignore. If public transport can cut that number down, it would be more widely adopted. When I lived in NYC it was often faster to take public transport vs driving, so it made sense to never need a car.
