Perhaps bordering on conspiracy, but I wonder how much influence the motoring lobby has on urban design and lackluster public transit investment? With the demise of trams in the 1960s in many places due to lobbying, the General Motors streetcar conspiracy to buy up public transit networks in the United States, and well known connections between motoring lobbying and governments, this wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure there are other vested interests here, but motoring/transit is certainly one that comes to mind.
