I'll agree Everyone should change over to Diesel and All commuters should have to ride the bus. But it won't ever happen. People won't change. WE(notice I include myself) want to be in charge of our own destiny and lives.
I lived in Toronto for two years and while public transportation gets you around and is cheaper then owning a car- you just don't have the independance to do what you want when you want. That's why we drive the cars and trucks that we do.
I should be driving a motorcycle to commute to and from work. I have no good reason not to. But I never will. I am afraid of them and the idiot I become when I get on one. I know Of myself that I would quickly become an oil stain on the freeway if I were to buy one. So I don't I drive a big old van with a 318 and seating for 10 even though I am the only one who ever rides in it. Kinda silly but that is the way it is.
