Most of US mass transit isn't an option as the Gov. didn't plan for it and have no intention of ever funding any but a token to assure workers have to pack lick sardines.

I would argue that moving to evs puts the cost burdens on companies and consumers where a functioning public transit system would cost a shit ton and only be able to occur by taxing people which people won't vote for.

Also when I went on a walk today while visiting my mother, I knocked on a neighbors door to let them know their hazard lights were on in the driveway. I didn't want their battery to die so I went to door. They wouldn't even open the door while clearly being able to see my mother standing behind me who lives a few doors down. I had to speak through the door to tell her. That older lady will never take public transit with all the fear we have engrained into the public.

I think combining both makes sense: Usually I use the bike or public transit to get around. But today I rented an EV from a local rideshare company (Skoda Enyaq iV80 4x4) because we had to move an entire rack of equipment between two cities for work.

I can decide to buy an EV, and it will work with what I have available to give me essentially the same functionality as a gasoline car, but easier on the environment and more convenient to charge at home.

Transit requires a majority of the population and political leaders to decide, huge amounts of money and many years. I have very little say in it happening and it won’t happen for years
