Uh, the graph in this very article shows rail ridership increasing from 1% in 1991 to 25% in 2016. So, if that's what "don't use it" means, ok, I suppose 25% is still less than 50%, so perhaps most trips aren't taken using rail. But It sure seems like progress to me, if we assume that a train can hold more people than a bus, and so do better at peak times. This seems like an article trying to hold off an increasing support for transit rail, perhaps worried by the fact that urban support for it (in L.A. at least) seems to be increasing.
