I extensively use public transit. While the cost savings are certainly nice, it is just soo much more comfortable.

Today I spent half my workday on a train going +200km/h to visit my parents. The alternative would have been an excruciating 6 hour car drive

You are describing an experience which couldn’t be further from the norm in Europe.

high speed trains, that can go up to about 350kmph/200mph, are the norm in Europe if you're going a long distance across France or Germany, but they're not daily public transit for most people just like flying isn't.
