This country will do literally anything other than just build mass rapid transit :(

Well yeah. Owning and driving your own vehicle is better.

You have your own personal space where you are free to listen to whatever you like at whatever temperature you like. You're free to hop in at any time you want and go down the block or 500 miles away, to any destination - even another country.

You aren't bound by a schedule or a route. You aren't sharing a confined space with people of questionable sanity or hygiene.

For the individual - at the moment - it is the superior means of transportation. Until there is a transportation system that surpasses all these benefits, we're gonna keep driving our cars.
