Because the public by and large doesn’t enjoy public transit?

No you’re right people rave about the car centric design of Los Angeles and it’s very efficient. Phoenix is a bastion of free movement and doesn’t demand everyone own a vehicle.

The public very much enjoys the convenience and speed of well funded public transit. Even if they don’t always enjoy the actual process if it isn’t well kept and clean.

Most New Yorkers commute via public transit.
Not because they like it.
It’s literally the only way to move that many people. What’s your point?
It's far faster to travel on subway than by car. Why wouldn't they like it?
