It seems like you have never been to a well connected and dense city, that has good public transport and bicycle infrastructure. Bikes and public transport can be at least twice as fast if not faster. Everything can be built closer together because you don't need all the wasted parking space and huge streets that cars require. I can really recommend the Youtube channel "Not Just Bikes". It has made me hate cars for all the useless space they take up, all the pollution (noise, air, rubber) they create, and the danger they present to anyone not in a car.
