However, if you look at the US public transportation system until the mid 1960's, it was there.

On that note, it's worth bringing up that Los Angeles, a city known for its horrible traffic conditions, once had the largest electric rail system in the world before it was completely eliminated in favor of the gridlocked highways it has now.
