People commonly have a choice not to drive a car in the first place.

Though cultural pressures, as well as some specific areas being genuinely hard to reach, pushes many people towards it anyway. But if you have a choice, choose public.

    Have you seen North American public transportation?

    Yeah, I have a "choice", but it's 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.

    Yeah, North America and US specifically is one of these hard to reach places

    Also, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance - if you have any semblance of bike infrastructure, that is. Surprisingly though, even American cities have that sometimes.
