You are correct to a degree, but many places around the world (even in America) have a suburb with a nearby city, and a bus that is mostly empty going from that suburb to said city. Meanwhile, that bus is stuck in car traffic going from where that bus originated (or anywhere on the line) to said city. It gets stuck in the same traffic going back
A lot of it isn’t structural. It’s cultural, it’s people. If you solve “the commute” social problem, the transit problem could be solved.
