Your argument isn’t really that cars are superior to the bus in general, just that your local public transit is poorly designed. When everyone treats this argument as if cars are always superior no matter what, no one wants to invest in making public transit actually better.
Well, the problem is we have to take what we have.
The argument that someone a country away lives a way because of some sort of pride is plain arrogance. We use cars because there is no reasonable alternative for most people. If we even try to consider alternatives, there simply isn't nothing short of wasting half a day on public transit.
It's not that public transit is superior, or that cars are superior. It's that method A is the most reasonable way to get around nearly 99% of the trips I need to take, and is affordable for me, so I will take that.
In Europe, that tends to be bikes and public transit. In America, it's personal vehicles. It's the nature we're both in.
That in of itself doesn't make one superior to the other.
