You seem to be talking about the USA. Other countries provide good public transportation options.
In the US, the decision to kill public transportation is 2-fold.
1. The car/oil/tire industries colluded back in the 1930s, to corruptly kill it in places like Los Angeles.
2. Racism: the suburbs did not want the undesirables to reach out into the suburbs. Example: Silicon valley, Atlanta.
The US is now scrambling to catch up, but it's not an easy task.
