yeaaa, limited public transport, urban sprawl, stuck in their routine, even though it's cheaper to use public transport they've been indoctrinated to use cars and imprisoned by their municipal layout.

In many places, using a car is really the only reasonable way. Even when you technically could bike and/or use public transit, it's either so slow or impractical that it wouldn't be practical for a normal person. Sometimes, anything short of an infrastructure overhaul can't work long term.
