Mass transit can be effective if you are a single traveller, but the more people going with you the more the car makes better financial sense.
For example. I travel on business to one particular city quite often. My organization pays about $240 round trip for air fare. If I were to pay that for myself it would be cheaper than driving. If I were married and my wife came with me, our two tickets would be more than driving would cost. If our two children came with us, the cost of flying (or amtrak) would be more than the cost of the entire trip.
Plus in mass transit you are extremely limited in the amount of stuff you can bring with you.
It is just so much smarter to drive.
