Honestly, public transport can be an immense pain, even in cities that are famous for having good systems.
Only the most common use-cases are catered for in a reasonable way. As soon as you take a journey that's an edge-case in any way, get ready for major discomfort. Furniture shopping, major grocery shops, moving house, going from one out-of-the-way place to another, travelling at an odd time.

In city I live driving to work at 9AM is nightmare but delay departure to just 10AM and it is suddenly reasonably pleasant drive. Similarly with public traffic, going at 8-9 AM is crowded, just an hour delay and it's decent.
