US public transportation isn't necessarily the problem, and neither is cars themselves; the root cause is US zoning/infrastructure. When everything is built with cars in mind, nothing is walkable and everything is super far apart. (Because, after all, you're supposed to use your car to get there!) In a properly-designed area you don't even necessarily need public transit.
