Boston is a good counter-example to your point though. People would be willing to use public transportation more because getting in, out and parking cars in Boston is a terrible nightmare, but the public transportation system is so unreliable, poorly designed and horribly operated that people choose to suffer in their cars instead. Also, trying to commute on bike in Boston is only for people with suicidal tendencies because bikes are seen as targets by most drivers here.
How's about I come down and we'll ride some Boston? I cut my teeth there...
Statistically one or two rides won't mean a lot. Most of my friends who commute were hit / doored / ambushed by angry drivers at least once each, I myself have found to be a target of active road rage as well. Also, I suspect the traffic has increased a little since the late 1880s.

I think the problem is that Boston is in NA. If it was elsewhere, it wouldn't be afflicted with underfunding of its transit system... to the same degree.
I pay $200 for a monthly pass for Zone 1 on our commuter rail. Zone 10 pays $400/month and that is before parking, not exactly cheap. But, MBTA is known to pay $150k/y to painters and $300k/y to train mechanics (if you have a well connected family member who can get you one of the jobs) and gigantic debts from the past so there's little money left for operational needs, and even less for investment.

Copenhagen has gone through the same urban sprawl as you have seen in America where people had to move out to realize the dream of owning a house.

was pulled over by cop in virginia for the sole purpose in yelling at me about the "pigs aint shit" sticker that was on my landcruiser at the time...also....given the length of hair and beard at the time....he searched for contraband...
You should have denied him the search request. You know - just to send him into an apoplectic rage...
And way back in 1965, having run out of gas on my Matchless G15-CS and pushing it along the road, there was the Delaware sheriff who had to give me the come to Jesus talk...
a FJ 40 with no carpet and a glove box.....not much to search...You should have denied him the search request. You know - just to send him into an apoplectic rage...
Yeah - but that's exactly why you tell him, "No, sir, you may NOT search my fucking car."
I've heard the same advise from at least two attorneys off the top of my head. One of them said if they search and find anything you tell them it's not your's. Say someone must have left it there when you went into the store. The idea being to create doubt which becomes more difficult to prove/disprove.
Had a NY State Trooper who asked to search my car way back in the days. I refused. When he asked why I simply said that a lot of people died to protect my 4th amendment rights and it would be disrespectful to waive them.You should have denied him the search request. You know - just to send him into an apoplectic rage...
