If you remove the parking situation from large-scale events, then the travel time is the same if not faster with the car, while providing more freedom and comfort. That's why many people choose it.
Unless you within walking distance of a station, you're going to get in a car anyway and at that point it's usually faster and cheap to drive. That's the fundamental calculus that prevents large-scale train construction in CA cities.

There were only a few hundred people at the event, but nowhere around there were there a few hundred parking spots— the whole neighbourhood is packed with restaurants, clubs, and other destinations. The character of it would be completely changed by setting all that stuff up to be accessed primarily by personal vehicle. The reality is, most of the people around us attending the event got there by some combination of transit, walking, and uber/cabs. And we should have too; we'll know for next time.
