Pub transport is slower if you design it this way. In NL bus and trams have own lanes, priority on semaphores and the paths to dest are usually shorter compared to car paths. Combine with needing to find the parking and in 90%+ you'll get faster with pub transport there than with a car. And pub transport can transport much more ppl than a bunch of cars since cars aren't shared and aren't space efficient even if you drive them full. A single tram with 7 sections in Basel can transport up to 1k ppl. Do you imagine the traffic you'd get with 800-1k cars instead of that tram? Public transport convenience is made by design, just like bike infra, just like pedestrian infra. The difference is what you prioritize
