I pay a lot of money for the privilege of being able to conveniently take public transit to work. I'd blame it on Atlanta, but honestly, there is nothing any city could do to make it convenient enough for me to take transit vs. just driving a car if I didn't really want to do it. I drive my car or take an Uber for literally everything that's not going to work or walking. America is just so big and so spread out that cars are the default option. You can't compare America to Europe in this regard because European countries are each the size of one US state and have been around for centuries. Their roads and buildings and stuff just scream "bike transport". Just try to convince a significant fraction of Americans to use bikes to get around. Never going to happen. Bikes are legit dangerous in the vast majority of US urban areas. Sure the smaller European nations have great transit networks. So do the smaller and older US states.
