Mass transit works well for Manhattan (and even here driving is a big percentage of total travel in to, around, and out of the borough) and a few other places, but expecting it to take up a major share of transport in newer less dense cities is unrealistic. How do you think cities become more dense? Since LA has built light rail and a subway, density levels in LA esp. along the subway and lite rail rights of way has grown significantly. There was a time when Manhattan was no more dense then a small town in the Midwest. Any city that has grown too large or is locked in by water and/or mts. like Seattle and SFO has no choice but to get more dense. NYC is just ahead of the curve.
