5. I think it's mainly advertising.
We Americans are brought up from birth with ads that portray automobiles as our "own space"...our home away from home...our freedom...our right...our happiness.
We see ads that depict individuals with an absolutely carefree, wonderful lifestyles, cruising down the highway with-out a care in the world...our loyal fun friends and family happily by our side going to exciting places that we've never been before.

On the other hand, most depictions of Public Transportation are crowded with filthy, unclean individuals who are too poor to even have a chance of the wonderful life offered by the Royal Automobile.

We're brainwashed
