Buses can function fine in towns as long as the town is designed well. Very few people live in areas too rural for public transportation to function.

Unfortunately I have to live in the real world where towns aren't designed well. Besides, the average yard in my neighborhood is 3.5 acres so general purpose public transportation wouldn't work either.

Change happens iteratively. The first step is to acknowledge the problem and adjust how future development is planned. Start with the town center and move outward from there. Giving up fixes nothing.

No in practice actually.
