The biggest reson for this is probably area density...the areas with fewest cars per capita are the places where things are geographically condensed,which makes public transport a viable alternative. Most southern cities are simply too spread out for public trans to be economically viable, and so having more vehicles is more pertinent.

While density is helpful ,US suburbs can support great transit for less than the cost of their cars. However they can't support bad transit, or even okay transit.
