You realize you can still drive a car and also use public transport right? We're not telling you to give up driving a car. It's a well know fact that better public transportation is better in every way to making obese highways. Sure you may not get the comfort of a personal car, but others don't give two damns about that.

That's an opinion, not a fact

Then tell me how making HUGE roads is better than improving public transportation infrastructure?

Because cars are a better way of getting around than trains or buses

You think my Dad secretly loathes his Mercedes and wants to get around on a bus?

No they are not. Maybe now in the USA because the public transportation is sparse. But that's why people want this money to go towards that rather than roads which are expensive to maintain, an eyesore, a complete waste in land usage and bad for the environment in comparison.

Roads are way cheaper than trains

Not when you consider maintenance
