Got a better alternative in a desert world?
I would assume people just don't get around as much because survival is only possible with everyone conserving as many ressources as possible. This means using the large amount of gasoline they have SOMEHOW access to to do something productive, and only have some people chosen to do long distance drives to nearby communities because the village ran out of chrome spray paint to huff.
I rather see it with electric cars. It would still be hard to keep them working and produce new batteries, but I would expect it to need less infrastructure than gasoline. The battery could also be used for other things.
Public transport needs more infrastructure and organization. Though some (small) buses might be possible and feasible.
Public transport, duh...
Oh sure, public transport in a post-apocaliptic desert wasteland
