I was in Scandinavia a couple of years ago. Drove around 4000 kilometers around the Baltic. There was no way I could've done that on public transit. In fact, in the whole time, the only public transit I saw was in Stockholm or Helsinki. In Helsinki, it was far easier to rent a bike and experience more of the city than it was to take the tram. In Talin and Tartu, driving, walking, and biking was orders of magnitude faster than transit because it still didn't go or you needed to go. In Sweden I saw separate pathways for bicycles complete with roadway lighting. Didn't see many people using them but at least they were there.
