Well... a whopping 45% of Americans have no access to public transit[0], in any form. So I would hazard a guess that those with access to light rail/subways is significantly less than 45%. Light and commuter rail ridership makes up only 300M/quarter riders out of a total ridership of 2.5B/quarter for all forms of mass transit, if I'm reading this right.[1] [0]https://www.apta.com/mediacenter/ptbenefits/Pages/FactSheet.aspx https://www.apta.com/mediacenter/ptbenefits/Pages/FactSheet....

Yeah, I have cheaper and faster access to transit than most drivers can ever achieve—and I still don't use it all that much! Why are people driving such long distances—and putting up with traffic—in their expensive cars? Is a larger house really that valuable? I suppose the answer is "yes, it is that valuable", since we are where we are. But, like, what's wrong with people?
