people still drive rather than take a chance with public transportation, when there is any.
The LAST time we were in Chicago we were in 6 lanes of bumper to bumper with 6 lanes going the other way, bumper to bumper, and 8 car light rail trains passing us (like we were standing still) every 10 minutes. most of them were empty. When I lived there in the 60's you couldn't kick your way on most of the trains. Folks just get used to the convenience of their cars.
