Frankly who cares how Presidents and billionaires get around? It's entirely irrelevant to your unsubstantiated claim that "public transport is intrinsically a worse and less convenient experience than having a private driver."

For what it's worth, the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte cycles to work just like most everyone else in the Netherlands.

Netherlands, of course, being an example of a place having public transport which is exceptionally good and quite often more convenient and more practical than having a private chauffer.
