You've clearly never lived in a large city that had good commuter rail. You don't "drive" to any of those places.

I've been to US cities like New York and traveled Europe. Even in very dense cities like Amsterdam with extensive public transport and a 10:1 bicycle to human ratio, there were still many cars on the roads. I'm starting to think you have a very very narrow world view.
Also wrapped up in your argument is the assumption that public transport would work the same in a very sparsely populated area as it does in a major metropolitan area. Perhaps you know where we'll find the money to afford to pay for a commuter rail system for Dodge City, Kansas, in addition to the other hundreds of thousands of cities across the country? Passenger rail will never come close to removing the need for motor vehicles. Not to mention trucking (how are you solving the problem of getting a truck load of produce to the grocery story with rail lines?)
