I've taken public transport quite a bit in several US cities. I didn't have a car for five years. Transport isn't going to get better if regular people stop using it. And there's something special about being on a bus or train or cycling/commuting with tons of other Americans. Even if you don't interact with them, you see them .. you see all sorts of people from all walks of life. In the 60s we were all in our books or in newspapers. Today we're all in our cellphones. We don't interact, but we see each other. That changes perceptions. That changes the way you view people. When people go to work in their cars and yell at other faceless cars, they don't truly see people. It changes who we are.
