Whenever Europeans ask why Americans don't take public transport, it's like asking why The Emperor's New Suit never gets dirty.
Everybody knows the answer to that question, but nobody is allowed to say it.

after living with both I personally would prefer cars over public transport. the quality of such is too dependent on location and jurisdiction. Even the most of the places that I have lived realistically cannot support public transport anyway
and it really only works well for large cities anyway, it kinda blows for anything long distance, especially where I have lived most of my life
