This is a massive part of the problem here in the UK too.
I just checked with Google Maps how long it would take my wife to get to work tomorrow morning. In the car it would take between 45 minutes and an hour, but public transport would take an hour and 52 minutes, with 29 minutes of that taken up by walking to bus and train stops. She would have to leave the house before 5:30 am, whereas the car would give her another hour in bed.
At the moment we’re under a yellow warning for rain too, so she would need to take waterproof clothes and probably a change of clothes too.
Until things like this are improved, it’s easy to see why lots of people still take the car :(
