Because it takes a long time to build a public transit infrastructure, and cars made it unprofitable.

Electric bikes make public transit much better.

An important thing to understand, is that public transit cannot be faster or as fast as cars. People need to change home.

That's why sobriety is important to talk about. You can't fight climate change without some sacrifices. It often seems like most consumers can't accept it, but it's a reality.

In cities of significant density metro very much is faster. Even some trams are faster in rush hours.

in my experience, subways are faster than cars in many cities; sometimes trams too to a lesser extent since they're slower and hit the red lights, or buses with dedicated lines (like the Metrobus in Mexico City)
