Not really, just because the US (outside of a few big cities) has got shit public transport.
Doesn't mean the rest of the world has.
Try driving though central London, so much easier to take public transport. My sister still lives there and uses her car about once a month.
If I want to go to my state capital. I could drive for 1/2 hour then fuck about trying to park, or I could take the train that costs less than $2 is brand new and clean, runs every 15 minutes into the center of the city, and takes the same time. Also means when there I can have a beer or two.
When I lived 20 miles outside Amsterdam for a year, the bus took 1/2 hour to get into the center, had its own lane on the road, so you'd fly past all the people sitting in cars in a jam. So again took longer by car.
Central Amsterdam to Central Paris.. quicker by train than driving.
