Yes, it probably is the best that you personally can reasonably do, but I think the point is that the responsibility shouldn't be put on working individuals who cannot really do anything beyond that. It's very plausible that public transportation that doesn't suck could be implemented in a few years if there were political will for it. It's just hard to believe that if you live somewhere that has never in your lifetime had the political will for public transportation that doesn't suck.
