Quite the opposite. I empathize with people who have to yell at their kids to get ready so they can make a fixed bus or train schedule. Or have to walk with their kids to a transit station in the rain. Or have to sit with their kids in a train while someone freaks out next to them.
Transit advocates are the ones who lack empathy for the typical person whose life is improved by having personal, point-to-point transit.

Someone using a train doesn’t mean someone else can’t use a car, but when cities make decisions about their transportation strategies, they have to prioritize.

How selfish does someone have to be to see dozens of examples of world class cities with trains and roads, then think that trains shouldn't exist and people without cars shouldn't be able to get around just in case roads could be improved in some secret undetermined way.
