I live in a city where I can do quite a bit using the Trolley. the buss system is so inefficient that it takes triple the time to get from point A to point B using the bus system. So yes, I could go to my doctor for the appointment using the bus, but instead of an hour and a half, including the appointment, we are talking four hours. And it is in a good neighborhood.
And if you live outside the city, and as far away as Alpine, good luck with public transportation... it is essentially non existent. Many of those residents work in San Diego though, and need to drive.
So noble yes, but not without a lot of other things. Also, we pay that money with gas taxes, and that money is not used for infrastructure for the most part.
