You can't generalize about public transport across the whole of the USA. It's very variable between different cities, and some have pretty good systems.
You mentioned one of the better systems but still mentioned busses? All the more enjoyable public transportation I've been on in the US has been trains and subways. My bus experiences haven't been that enjoyable, but not horrid either ..except that one time I had to sit near the bathroom at the back.
Still, train/subway experiences in Chicago and New York/New Jersey/ Long Island were vastly superior to driving for me. There's also a new line going from Orlando to Miami my sister has been using that sounds wonderful. Unfortunately doesn't really reach where I currently am, greater Atlanta area. Unfortunately I have to drive most of the time for work etc, with no subway lines or when trains from my home to work, and the traffic is terrible at times.
