You don't want self driving cars because you like trains.

During rush hour my city's transit comes every 15 minutes, 7.5 minutes on the shared line. I only used it for commuting. On the weekend I saw the train leaving and didn't worry but had to wait a while 30 minutes. Which sucked.
A train/bus every 30 minutes is fine for work - most people can plan their work day around that, so long as the schedule is reasonably consistent. However when going doing anything else there is too much risk that you will have to wait 29 minutes when you finish whatever it was you came to do and that is not acceptable to most people.
Agreed, traffic suck whether it jam or not
If you make public transportation safe and efficient, even reliable, people won't need cars.
I'd rather sit on a train or a bus and read, rather than drive on the same roads with the crazy liberals and conservatives.
Oh wait, I'd be stuck inside metal tube with them instead. I better stay home then. Damn.
Same same.
Woooo yeahhhh!
