I'm not sure I'd put this down to "horrible city structures".
Frequency of public transport is typically proportional to the population density. People are more likely to want to know the time of the next bus/train/tram when the cost of missing it is a 20 minute wait.
Managing population density is definitely part of city planning and I'd suggest limiting it has a more beneficial impact on quality of life than more frequenct public transport.
I live in one of the most denstly populated areas on earth and for me at least, the benefit of having a train interval of < 2 minutes does not offset the downside of having no space. E.g.:
- Peak train density >6 people per sq meter (1.8 sq ft per person)
- Peak urban density ~130,000 people per sq km (333,000 per sq mile)
