Absolutely. And in the US, not only is transportation policy incredibly arcane but also the roads are terrible AND the trains are terrible. Stands to reason that the average person believes they care more about getting from point A to B than the govt does.

Glad that my kids think taking transit is as fun as a carnival ride, but this is so true: "A transit system is no good if the avg family can't ride it out of fear for their safety. Loud noises, threats [etc will not] be tolerated by the avg person & when they can simply drive instead, they will."
